"Meet Charles Ellis Reagan, a distinguished figure whose remarkable life weaves through the realms of academia, aviation, and adventure. With a stellar 49-year tenure at Kansas State University, he honed minds as a Professor of Philosophy, specializing in French philosophy. His academic prowess extends to the Sorbonne, where he studied, and the University of Toulouse, where he served as a visiting professor. Proficient in French, he has authored six papers in the language and published seven academic books, including the acclaimed 'Paul Ricoeur: His Life and His Work.' But his journey doesn't end there. Parallel to his academic pursuits, Reagan soared the skies as an airline pilot, instructor pilot, and jet pilot. His logbook boasts four transatlantic trips as a co-pilot and the thrilling experience of piloting three fighter planes. Not confined to the air, he's also a certified railroad engineer, embracing the thrill of locomotion on land. Now retired in Marietta, Ohio, Reagan shares his life with his beloved wife, surrounded by the love and laughter of their three grown children and two cherished grandchildren. His story is one of intellectual curiosity, daring exploration, and a life lived to the fullest."
