Barbara is a fine gal. I knew her brother Scott well.

Great family and great kids! Scott was my hero...I never knew a finer man.

Barbara is lucky she ain’t an everyday sheeple. Otherwise she would have been sent home sooner.

I always thought they were a class act. Sometimes I didn’t care for their politics, but it’s hard to agree 100% with anyone.

Compared to the klintoon family, the Bush’s were folks we could be proud of.

I never actually knew the Bushes. There might be great pressure on a person in the highest offices of the government that I don't know about.

But I knew the Pierces...and they were fine folks. Very down to earth and absolutely no pretentions. Always desirous of doing the right thing!

When they first suspected mom was having some memory issues they asked her who he president if he US was. She shrugged her shoulders and said “I don’t remember, but I sure do like his wife!”
“So who’s his wife?”
“Mrs Bush!”
When we relayed this to the WH mom received a sweet personal note.
Have always appreciated the kind gesture.

I can relate to the “memory issues”—heck, I can’t even remember what I had for breakfast today.

Old age is not always fun—LOL!

Daddy asked me last week how he and I were related. I went through the usual and then told him I was born nine months to the day he returned from the South Pacific. Mom met him at the hotel on his way home. He smiled and replied. “ I remember that”.

My Dad was in the South Pacific...he died a year ago. I had to convince him to go. And he did...but ever so slowly.

I miss him so much.
