my co-author and i would walk in and mary finch who works at the library was like, where do you want to start? she opens the door and it is millions of different scrapbooks. we only have a day and a half. we started in her scrapbook. my grandmother had kept scrapbooks from every part of their life together. >> while at the george h.w. bush library and museum, director warren finch showed us one of many scrapbooks, containing mementos from their life together. >> we are here in the research room. we are going to take a look at 120, 130 scrapbooks that mrs. bush began keeping shortly after she and president bush became engaged. she was an avid scrapbooker and documented their entire history and his political history and their lives together for their entire marriage. this one is from 1944 and 1945 i believe. mrs. bush's granddaughter was doing a book on the president and mrs. bush's love story. and she was using the scrapbooks as a resource for that book. one of the things she found because it was sitting inside this envelope was what we think is a scrapbook from their first thanksgivi
