BRIEF: Chicago native Mr. T pays tribute to Nancy Reagan

March 08--South Side native Mr. T paid tribute to former First Lady Nancy Reagan on Twitter Monday.

"Not only did she invite me to the White House in December '83, after meeting with her and President Ronald Reagan, she then asked me to help her with her 'Just Say No' program which I gladly accepted with humility and honor," Mr. T tweeted.

Mr. T, who starred on the '80s show "The A-Team," dressed as Santa Claus and helped Nancy Reagan unveil the White House's holiday decorations in 1983. Mr. T also helped Reagan with her anti-drug campaign with public service announcements.

Reagan, who spent part of her childhood in Chicago, died Sunday at the age of 94.
