The former American president and his former Soviet counterpart had a private lunch Thursday in Houston. Former Secretary of State James A. Baker III and former first lady Barbara Bush joined them, along with Gorbachev’s daughter.
Gorbachev hugged Bush as he entered a Houston club and presented Bush and Baker with an autographed copy of a Russian-language book with Gorbachev’s photo on the cover.
The then-presidents first met in 1989 in Malta, shortly after the Berlin Wall fell. They had four U.S.-Soviet summits during their time in office.
In 2001, Gorbachev received a public service award from the Bush Presidential Library Foundation at Texas A&M University.

When you’re older and quite rich, you can wear whatever you want!
Like the socks. Gift probably. nice.
As a Texan for over thirty years, I know that those are fancy cowboy boots that cost well over $5000.
It has the state flag designed on it. This is a man with CLASS.
I understand that George Bush (The Greater) has some serious health problems. I hope this is not old friends dropping in to say “goodbye.” A fine man, George Bush, his son is not even his shadow.
