George H.W. Bush: “I don't know. It's worth infinity to me because, as you know, it's…”

On the recordMay 28, 1991

I don't know. It's worth infinity to me because, as you know, it's been in our family since 1903--that house, the place before that. It doesn't matter about the price on it, as far as I'm concerned. It's where my family comes home, and it's our anchor to windward. It has great meaning in terms of family. And we are blessed; Bush family is blessed. The children come home, and they look forward to it. So, there's no price tag. Let them put the taxes wherever they want, and I'll pay them in this case. Now, I might have a different attitude if it weren't Kennebunkport and Walker's Point. China
