My mom did that to me when she saw Michael Beschloss on tee vee and told me she wished I were more like him. Seeing how I look like Luca Brasi and dress like Gilligan the Sailor, that's a problem. Glad to write when I show Mom this picture, she knows all the participants:

Kennebunkport, July 30, 1983: Bill Clinton, George Bush & George Wallace

Wallace and his third wife, the former Lisa Taylor, meet with Vice President George Bush and Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton at a lobster bake at Bush's residence at Kennebunkport, Maine, July 30, 1983. The third Mrs. Wallace, whom the governor married in 1981, was 30 years his junior and half of a country-western singing duo, Mona and Lisa, who had performed during his campaign in 1968.
