To the editor:
The expression "It takes two to tango" certainly applies to Rush H. Limbaugh Sr. and his beloved wife, Bee, sainted for some time.
Many years ago they lived close enough to us to be called neighbors. They would walk past our house very often and always stopped to chat. They were an extremely happy and compatible couple. Bee was vivacious, always had a smile on her face and dealt very much in all community activities. Her husband, Rush, gloried in that fact.
Often when we talked it was she who held our interest, as well as that of her husband. He once said to us, "She is my mentor."
Although it was always Rush Limbaugh's desire to became a lawyer, it was his wife's profound encouragement, loyalty and oftentimes advice that helped him to become the great person that he was. He kept Bee in his dreams to become the successful lawyer she had confidence in his being.
Now they have achieved their goals and are both together again, this time permanently.
