Remembering Nancy Reagan's Pacers Connection

The world mourned the passing of former First Lady Nancy Reagan earlier this week. The wife of 40th President Ronald Reagan died on Saturday at the age of 94, and tributes have poured in from across the globe in the wake of her death. The Pacers, for their part, held a moment of silence for Reagan before Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.

The tribute was fitting not only for the tremendous impact the former First Lady left on the country, but because Nancy Reagan actually did once attend a Pacers game.

One of Reagan's chief initiatives as First Lady was her "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign.
