PEOPLE, Page 99Winging ItBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
When it comes to First Ladies, BIG BIRD is unflappable. He's
met five of them, but BARBARA BUSH is the only one to have made a
special trip to the Manhattan set of Sesame Street. During a taping
last week to be aired this winter, the grandmother of eleven felt

undertake her own rendition of the popular ditty Sing. "I'm 64, I
should not be doing this," she joked. Instead of a solo, as had
been planned, she asked Big Bird to squawk along with her. By the
time the two got to the chorus (La la la la la), she had regained
confidence: "I can do that." Birds of a feather . . .
