Here’s a cute true story of the photo-taking event of our Katy Fit group in the 2010 Houston Marathon! When we ran over to the former president, and I asked him if we could take a picture, he smiled and said, Sure!" I asked a man standing next to him if he would take the picture. He just kept looking at the former president and didn’t say one word. I asked him again, and he did exactly the same thing. Then GHWB finally said, "He’s Secret Service, and he can’t take any pictures." I said, "Oh," and asked another man standing nearby, and he was glad to take pictures. So since I stood next to GHWB, I put my arm around his shoulder, and because he was sitting quite low, and I was standing straight up, it would have been difficult for him to put his arm around my waist, so he put it around my calf. As we finished taking the pictures, he said, "Wow, you don’t have any fat on your legs!" I didn’t have the nerve to say to him, "Well, if you’d had your hand on my thigh instead of my calf you definitely would not have said that!!"
I had a date with one of GHWB's Secret Service men a few years back, and I think he was one of the shyest (but nicest!) men I ever dated - I was just surprised that he was shy and seemed somewhat unsure of himself!
