I’m guessing Barbara Bush’s funeral will be a tad more reserved. She was a first-class woman, and a source of pride in my hometown – Rye, NY – where she grew up.
She married George Bush in the church across from my high school, and once, on a visit to Rye while she was First Lady, said, “I've been with George to 67 different countries and all 50 of the United States. And believe me when I tell you, there’s no place like home.”
Great lady. Great place to grow up.
