Don Regan has died at the age of 84; Regan was a colorful character, although as with a lot of Reagan-era figures besides the President himself, I wasn't really old enough at the time to judge the man independently of his caricatures in the press.

Regan took up painting in his retirement:

"After Wall Street and the government, I decided there had to be more to
life than the stock market, golf and drinking," he said in explaining his
new passion for landscape painting.
