I found out that Margaret Thatcher had died by way of a phone call from Public Affairs. They were looking for pictures of her at the Economic Summit that was held at Rice in 1990, of which there are plenty. Here she is in one of the iconic images from that event:
This one, though, is a tiny bit more casual. I love every single thing about this picture.
Margaret Thatcher, RIP.
Director: “You two, stage right! You missed your marks! Will you… does anyone speak their language?”
There is more than one fake smile on the faces in the second picture. I can imagine both Barbara Bush and Margaret Thatcher thinking “Oh, no. Just what is he trying to do?” for completely different reasons.
I love the second pricture, lots of fun stuff, including the guy wearing my western shirt 🙂
