Letter: Mrs. Bush left a great legacy

Editor, Gazette-Journal:

It was with sadness that I heard of the passing of Barbara Bush. It was my great privilege to serve early on with Mrs. Bush on the Reading is Fun-damental Program back in the 1970s. Her impact is still felt today.

Mrs. Bush was so committed to this endeavor and she shared her enthusiasm with all of us. Most of us on the committee were young mothers and we understood how important this effort would be and the impact would be important to all of our children for generations!

Mrs. Bush has left a great legacy for all Americans, and she will be remembered as a truly great woman. She will be missed.
