KENNEBUNK, Maine — About 200 people gathered on a Maine beach — some with dogs in tow — on Sunday to remember Barbara Bush, who with her husband, former President George H.W. Barbara Bush died on Tuesday at home in Houston at the age of 92. At the Maine memorial, some also donated children’s books to be given to two local libraries and a children’s hospital in her memory. “That’s our farewell to Barbara,” said Diane Denk, who helped organize the memorial and often saw Bush on the beach in the early morning with her dogs. One participant made clear that Bush indeed always picked up after her dogs; it wasn’t the job of the Secret Service.
