George HW Bush Paid a Very Simple Tribute to His Wife

As George HW Bush laid to rest his wife of 73 years on Saturday, he used his unique sartorial trademark to honor Barbara Bush: The 41st president of the United States, known in his post-presidency for his affinity for loud socks, sported socks that depicted stacks of books in a simple nod to his wife's commitment to literacy, reports CBS News. "To honor his wife of 73 years and her commitment to family literacy, for which she raised over $110 million over the course of over 30 years, @GeorgeHWBush will be wearing a pair of socks festooned with books," tweeted family spokesman Jim McGrath.
