After President Ford won, some of the Reagan supporters in the Oregon delegation said they would not go back the next night for the acceptance speech. "I didn't agree with that," says Evans. "I'm not a good hater." Yet when she was souvenir shopping to pass the time, she spotted her regional political director. Says she: "I went over to him and broke down and cried. It just happened." On the plane ride home, some of the Reagan people put on Ford buttons as a gesture of party unity, but, says Evans, "I just couldn...
