Thanks, Gretchen just posted a few more photos with her not waving and the pinky is straight. Yeah, you point out her thumb...in the pic I checked when I read this, it looks like it's half gone!
I am one of those weird people who notice such nuances. I noticed this particular hand wave thing a long time ago. I just think she is a wonderful woman and a true southern bell. This could be a debutant wave or something. Don't know that much about her when she was young.
I also noticed the Jeanna thing with the unique hand clapping. I could go on, but you would never pay attention to another presidental speech again, just the little quirks they all have. I am cursed I think.
