During a campaign parade, candidate Reagan spotted Burghardt in the crowd , and sent the Secret Service agents back to have his friend join the entourage. Since the Reagans became domiciled in the White House, the ' Burghardts have been their guests. The two have corresponded since college days: Burghardt received his master's degree from Iowa University in 1937 and immediately began his professional career at North Carolina College.
