Before she got ill, my mother shook BJCs hand when he came to a local park.
I allowed her to walk home.
LOL!
Which reminds me of the time BJ flew into MCAF Quantico on Marine One... my CO, being the CO of the headquarters squadron, was obligated to be present at the time of his arrival. He absolutely did not want to be anywhere near BJ but he was ordered to be there. He hung way back, but BJ saw the opportunity for a photo op, made a beeline for him, and shook his hand while the cameras snapped.
When the CO came back inside the building he was ranting and raving about it, and we didn't help when we told him those pictures would cost him his membership in the Rush Limbaugh fan club.
