My favorite BB story is the morning after GHWB was elected POTUS, Barbara headed for the walking trails of Memorial Park in Houston.
After a few minutes she asked the SS, "Where are all the people?" because Memorial is one of the most popular in Houston. They told her, "The other people aren't allowed in because you're here." She had gone to the park to celebrate and be with "real" people and her response was, "I want to go home."
That is reportedly when she realized the difference between V.P. and President, and how much her life had changed.
