President Bush has left us for one last flight but his destination isn't unknown. He's flying into the arms of the love of his life, Barbara. This evening, each of us should take a minute to look up and offer him a silent thanks. FULL STATEMENT: https://t.co/XbuFYztrmg

President George H W Bush rejoins the heavens, adding his own point of light among the thousand he once so beautifully described. A nation mourns the loss of a leader, and a family their beloved father and grandfather.

First question:
@jfreewright
Did you also use the cover of George H.W. Bush's passing to have an “on the feet” meeting with Putin? https://t.co/MwTb49kmyf
My grandfather was the greatest man I ever knew. His life spanned the American Century—he fought in World War II ... took part in the Texas oil boom ... served out a distinguished career in public service including serving as president during the final days of the Cold War. pic.twitter.com/6i68EPVC3j
