In the words of Mike Marvins: A salute to a great lady. I made this portrait shortly after the Bushs' returned to Houston. The only chair we could use was big and very heavy and two Secret Service guys were about to pick it up and move it across the room. Mrs. Bush scolded them both, reminding them of their back problems. She said, "Mike, let's do this ourselves. And, we did." Photograph from the Kaye Marvins Photographs (unprocessed) in HHRC
