thank you anita. it was actually the secret service that whispered first. on february 12th, interestingly, 11/11 and 2/12 are important days in history, but there was another woman born but she was born in london. and she was the daughter in law to a president. and the wife of a president. the two women that we will hear from tonight are even more unique than those two individuals. because one is not only the mother of a president, and the wife of a president, she also got to witness both of them taking an oath of office to be president. the other woman is the daughter in law of a president and the wife of a president. and she got to witness both of them taking the oath of office to be president. these two women are pretty remarkable. barbara pierce bush has had a long legacy of caring about people and inviting people to make a difference. she cares deeply about her family, and she has quite a terrific family. with lots of grandchildren and one great grandchild and she cares so deeply about them, but she also introduced us to "points of light" and the oppor
