RIP George H.W. Bush

[classicdrogn]

I met the man once - not on the campaign trail, but still some kind of managed event though I honestly have no idea what. My parents and I were invited to a reception at the White House along with groups from each other state, to get some okay food, a warm smile, and a firm handshake, and probably some kind of presentation or something that was completely forgettable as ... probably a second or third grader? Couldn't have been much later, at any rate, though both my sisters had moved out. I think I may have said something to him about money for the arts in schools due to the younger of my sisters having gotten a music scholarship, but I don't really remember what or if it was just something I later thought I should have said either.
