 Barbara Bush - First Lady Biography and Information - WHITEHOUSE.ORG
Relocating to wherever her husband's noble freedom-fighting took them became a way of life, and as such, Bar's beloved wedding furniture suffered untold nicks and scratches over the course of 29 moves between George's first election to the US Congress and his inauguration as Vice President under Ronald Reagan.
When President Bush was finally and justly elected President, Bar re-invented what it means to be the First Lady, eschewing the gratuitous slimness of decades of her predecessors and reveling in her queen-sized magnificence.
Her first term as First Lady would see Bar co-author two best-selling books with her beloved Springer Spaniel Millie, and succeed (albeit in the final hours) at eliminating the overpowering and stubbornly lingering scent of Nancy Reagan's Chanel No. 5 from the First Lady's East Wing toiletry alcove.
