Barbara was a stay at home mother. George W. Bush may not have fully deserved becoming president,but he was re-elected. My guess, Barbara Bush would agree George W. was not really born to be president . When did raising children become not valuable?

"Hello, Dolly" in Vietnam 1965 Mary Martin
+ WilliamM replied to + WilliamM's topic in Live Theater & Broadway
I believe you mentioned being born in 1964. Nobody strong armed Lyndon Johnson. He saw a chance to get some good publicity for Vietnam. Even though I was not in the infantry, I always traveled with loaded rifle in Vietnam because the Viet Cong were a daily concern. The tour was a mistake. -

Merrick "demanded" LBJ to send the Dolly company to Vietnam? I was born in Texas and served in Vietnam in 1968 and 1969. It was terrible, very dangerous tour. Johnson knew Mary Martin far better than David Merrick. She lived near Forth Worth and was born there. -

Mary brought Hello, Dolly to Japan. President Johnson asked her to take the musical to Vietnam. She later regreted her decision because it put the large cast in grave danger.
