I was honored to meet George HW Bush and Barbara twice at @Bush41Library. They were huddled whispering to each other like teens at both events— an inspiring love. He was an adopted Texan whose lifelong service is an example to all https://t.co/01AdNYSzco @abc13houston #bush41 pic.twitter.com/5ZcTfv9wSR
