My brother bumped into him at the hardware store the other day, said he was just another shopper only had a quick smile and a nod when he is recognized.

Others I know that have met him have always been impressed by the sincerity of the man. On that level, being a REAL person, President George W. Bush and President Ronald Reagan are equals. I wished either was still president.
I remember walking down the street near Santa Barbara and Ronald Reagan had just come out of the barber shop. This was before his presidency and just a couple years after Gub'ner of California. I just said, nice haircut and he told me the guy does a great job. I sometimes wish I could have had more to say but we were two strangers on the sidewalk and I'm not one to say," OH WOW YOU'RE...blah blah,"
As for the Bush book, it's Christmas shopping season right after halloween these days so I'd say this release is financial timing for selling his book, doesn't run into election nastiness. ( This for others suggesting the timeley or untimely release).
