Patt Morrison on Margaret Thatcher's legacy in California

Margaret Thatcher died this morning at the age of following a stroke. Known as the "Iron Lady" Thatcher was a conservative politician who served as England's Prime Minister for 11 years starting in 1979. 

Her term ran in tandem with that of President Reagan's during the final decade of the Cold War. He called Thatcher his "special friend" and political "soul mate."
