Members of the public pay their respects Monday evening, Dec. 3, 2018, at the casket of former President George H. W. Bush lying in state in the Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. (Official White House Photo by Joyce N. Boghosian)

From WGBH public radio on the 41st President:

As the nation says good-bye to a former president, many in the Maine town of Kennebunkport are remembering a neighbor. David Mulvar, a waiter at Mabel’s Lobster Claw, where the Bushes often visited, remembers one of those dinners.

After Mr. Bush finished his meal, he went over to every table in the restaurant and said hello and greeted them. And then as he was leaving the whole restaurant stood up gave him a standing ovation. It was pretty cool.

Mulvar then pointed to a photo hanging on the wall above a booth in the restaurant. It’s from the wedding of another waiter, Mulvar explained.

That’s Josh, and that’s his wife Kate. And then there’s George and Barbara.
