Brabham, who has battled a brain tumor for more than a year, had one heck of a night on Monday. He got to see Tortorella win a title right after he was honored for 50 years as a Mason in the Vinton Masonic Lodge.

The answer is Jellybeans- In fact, the Jelly Belly Candy company in California says Reagan helped it gain worldwide success.
Reagan's love of Jelly Belly's began in 1967 when he was trying to quit smoking- Jelly Belly sent then-Governor Reagan miniature jelly beans to help.
Reagan wrote the company saying we can hardly start a meeting or make a decision without passing around the jelly beans.
Reagan carried that tradition to the White House where jelly beans became a must have at Cabinet meetings- he even ordered 7-thousand pounds of Jelly Belly's for his 1981 inauguration.
