Bush Writes Funny Letters. (NY Times (subscription required))
Mr. Lay and Mr. Bush appeared to develop a warm relationship during Mr. Bush's tenure as governor. In April 1997, on Mr. Lay's 55th birthday, Mr. Bush sent him a joking note:
"One of the sad things about old friends is that they seem to be getting older — just like you!
55 years old. Wow! That is really old."
The letter goes on to say:
Thanks goodness you have such a young, beautiful wife.
Laura and I value our friendship with you. Best wishes to Linda, your family and friends.
Your younger friend,
George W. Bush
Nice letter.
