jfklibrary: Yesterday, former First Lady Laura Bush made a visit to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum for a private tour of the building by Kennedy Library Director Tom Putnam. Mrs. Bush spent the majority of her time in the museum, including a curator-guided tour of the Library’s current exhibit based on Jacqueline Kennedy’s recently published oral history.  Before leaving, the First Lady stopped in at the Library’s Museum Store to peruse a number of gift items, including a book about Presidential pets, and immediately opened to a photo of the Bush’s family dog, Spot.
