President Ronald Reagan suffered the "beginning stages" of Alzheimer's disease while he was in the White House, according to a new book "My Father at 100" by the president's son (and longtime Seattle resident) Ron Reagan.

The junior Reagan reports that he saw evidence that his father was losing his mental acuity as early as his first term in office, which began in 1981.

The elder Reagan wasn't diagnosed with Alzheimer's until 1994, prompting him to hand write a moving public letter-of-farewell. The first public indication of his fragile health came at Richard Nixon's funeral earlier that year.

Excerpts of "My Father at 100", due for publication next Tuesday, were initially published by U.S. News & World Report's Washington Whispers blog, and picked up Friday by the website "Politico."
