Betsy Walker Field, first cousin to former President George H.W. Bush, will be leading a group of about 40 Republican grass-roots volunteers from Wilmington to Philadelphia this Sunday to see Doro Bush Koch read and sign copies of her book, “My Father, My President – A Personal Account of the Life of George H.W. Bush” at the Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

The bus will leave Republican Party Headquarters, 3301 Lancaster Ave. in Wilmington, about 11 a.m., said Ken Grant, communications director for the Republican party of Delaware.

The bus is at capacity, Grant said.

Grant said Koch was in Delaware in January 2004, for a big rally in support of her brother, President George W. Bush.

1. Nice VW bus. But it could use a big peace sign on it.

3. Mystery machine

TFK: Can you tell us, from a sister’s perspective, something about the President that maybe readers don’t normally hear about?
Bush Koch: Well, he was very bossy growing up and that’s why I knew he was going to be something like a President. I wasn’t surprised. He and I are thirteen years apart. So you know, I was sort of his, I’m not going to say servant, but, you know, close to it. I was the little sister, and I ran around and did everything for him for many, many years and I’m still working for him to this day. So, what does that say about big brothers and little sisters. I don’t know. Things don’t change. That’s what it says.

TFK: So you call him President or George, or…
Bush Koch: I call him, you know out of respect for the office and because I’ve had a father be President and I have a huge respect for the office, I call him Mr. President. In private, I call him George. I might refer to him as George, but I really call him Mr. President. Because it’s not really him that I’m calling Mr. President, it’s the office he’s holding. And it’s really a magnificent and special thing.
