I bought George Bush's book "All My Best", which if one reads, will understand that the Bush Family writes a personal note to everyone in their lives right down to the garbage collector at their summer home. It's a thanks, or condolences, or just a sharing of a mutual interest. The guy wrote constantly. It's a lost courtesy which people of class used to carry out, lost on today's culture.
That Bush family is so classy. Contrast them with the Kennedy's and, well....
