| Description | When Dick Cheney graduated from high school, he wrote in his girlfriend's yearbook that “most girls are either pretty and dumb or smart and plain. You have a rare combination of both.”
Nearly half a century later, that girlfriend, now Cheney's wife, Lynne, reveals this “extravagant compliment” in a memoir about growing up in the West, entitled “Blue Skies, No Fences.”
In the book, which will be published October 9, Lynne describes the future vice president's yearbook inscription as “so sweetly awkward and politically incorrect that our daughters brought the house down when they read it out loud at our thirty-fifth anniversary party.”
In “Blue Skies,” the second lady traces her ancestry and recounts how her father rejected his own parents' Mormonism. Lynne also recounts Dick's roots before closing the book with an account of their high school courtship in Casper, Wyoming.
