from his retirement as President in 1989 until his death in 2004, and Nancy Reagan continues
to live there. At her request, the Reagan's house number on St. Cloud Road was changed from
666 to 668, due to the negative Biblical/Satanic connotations of the number 666. The Reagans
attended Sunday services at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church.
