Letter of Condolence to Lawrence Welk, Jr.

May 19, 1992
Dear Larry,
    Barbara and I send to you and all your family our most sincere 
condolences. Your great and admired Dad set a wonderful, wholesome 
example for this Country. His personal story inspired us all and his 
music had broad appeal. Lawrence Welk was truly a great American.
    Please convey our deepest sympathy and special prayers to all in 
your family.
    Sincerely,

                                                             George Bush
