Bush later told his mother he met the “niftiest girl at the dance,” and Barbara regaled to her mother that evening that she met “the nicest, cutest boy, named Poppy Bush,” as it was explained in “Destiny and Power” by Jon Meacham. Soon after, Barbara traveled back to boarding school at Ashley Hall. It was there — right here in the Lowcountry — that love grew between the future president and first lady as they penned letters to each other in the early months of 1942. Over spring vacation, Bush asked her to be his date at his senior prom in Massachusetts. Her reply came on personalized stationary that reads “Barbara Pierce, Ashley Hall, Charleston, S.C.” across the top: “Dear Poppy, I think it was perfectly swell of you to invite me to the dance and I would love to come or go or whatever you say. I wrote Mother yesterday or the day before and rather logically, I haven’t heard from her, but I’m sure she is going to let me come or go, etc. I really am excited but scared to death, too. If you hear a big noise up there, don’t worry, it’s just my knees knocking.” Prom on that June Massachusetts evening was a great date, and when George walked her back to where she was staying — with a friend of her sister — he kissed her on the cheek “in front of the world.” She recalled the feeling, “I floated into my room and kept the poor girl I was rooming with awake all night while I made her listen to how Poppy Bush was the greatest living human on the face of the earth,” according to Meacham. Their first real kiss — also a first-ever for both — Photo by Joyce N. Boghosian. LIFE PLAN COMMUNITY © 2019 South Bay at Mount Pleasant South Bay is bringing a new perspective to senior living.
