I also admire both former presidents and their wives and I think they gave the office of President the dignity that it deserved and deserves.

How wonderful of hi...What a lovely story, Dayle!!! How wonderful of him to respond to you...but, you know, I think that was the kind of man he was/is.<br /><br />When he lost the election in 1992, I was greatly saddened, and I wrote him a letter at the White House (before he left office) and told him I would be sorry to see him go. Do you know that in response to my letter I received an autographed photo of him and Mrs. Bush.<br /><br />Actually, I am a fan/supporter of both H.W. and W., and this week, for about the first time in my life, I watched the Oprah Winfrey Show, to see her interview with #43. He looked great, and I loved hearing him talk about how much he loved his parents. Definitely a terrific family...and two terrific men.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your wonderful story.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />PattiPatti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6337719229116011312.post-9337052161713703962010-11-12T11:39:29.868-06:002010-11-12T11:39:29.868-06:00It's such a surprise when someone "famous...It's such a surprise when someone "famous" responds to you. What a great honor! <br />I admire Mr. Bush and especially Mrs Barbara Bush.
