107. The Tradition of First Lady Forever Stamps: Barbara Bush

First Lady Barbara Bush is being honored by the United States Postal Service with a Forever Stamp in what would be the centennial year of her birth. Born in New York on June 8th, 1925, Barbara Pierce would go on to marry George Herbert Walker Bush and become an iconic, unelected public servant in her own right. Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association, talks about the life and legacy of Mrs. Bush with three special guests: Pierce Bush, grandson of President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush, and the CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters Lone Star; Chas Fagan, the artist who painted the Official White House Portrait of Mrs. Bush which is featured on the new Forever Stamp; and Andrew Roberts, President of  the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy. Mrs. Bush said she wanted to do something every day to help others and was a passionate supporter of the life-changing power of learning how to read. Her lasting legacy of service can be seen through her family, friends, and the Foundation which continues to support literacy efforts to this day in her name.
