Read Barbara's book...they are very non pretentious. She tells a story when they were vacationing in the Maine home how some king came to stay and wanted to cook....So much food they had to call the neighbors in to eat all the food...

It was only after the king left that she realized she'd left the note up she had posted for the grand-kids...”pick up your wet towels, who do you think I am the maid?”

She certainly is non pretentious. As the host of a local function, I was invited to lunch at Walker’s Point. As the men were all talking politics, Barbara and I sat on the patio discussing family. W’s twins were two at the time and she was just full of anecdotes re them. What really impressed me was when she related Millie’s encounter with a skunk late one night. She said the Secret Service brought the dog to her and she had the unpleasant chore of bathing a stinking dog with tomato juice and then bathing her in the tub. Picture any other Vce-President’s wife performing this chore!!
