1989-1993

Wife - Barbara Pierce (1925-)

Vice-President J. Danforth Quayle (1989-1993)

Some see leadership as high drama, and the sound of trumpets calling, and sometimes it is that. But I see history as a book with many pages, and each day we fill a page with acts of hopefulness and meaning. The new breeze blows, a page turns, the story unfolds. And so today a chapter begins, a small and stately story of unity, diversity, and generosity-shared, and written, together.
