After eating, the adults went to the Holocaust museum, while Plummer stayed with the children. When the children and Plummer went to bed, they slept on the third floor, a level with about nine or 10 bedrooms, while the Bernstein adults slept one floor down. Every bedroom sported a television and videocassette recorder. By lunch the next day, a new guest had appeared to spend time with the Bushes, Mrs. Welch, Laura Bush's mother. He, of course, had to rush off somewhere, and I think all he ate was a bag of chips.
People always think, when they meet someone famous, that they'll be different, or stand-offish.
But they're not, the Bushes are just like us. Plummer, a 1994 graduate of Lewistown Area High School, came across as another person who was not stand-offish. Her warm and helpful personality seemed to travel through the phone lines as she explained her reasons for becoming a nanny. An advertisement in The Blue Review, a Penn State publication, caught her eye. The ad was placed by an agency operating out of Connecticut, called Family Extensions.
