The New York Times wrote: "Ms. Hughes is the smiling, media-savvy White House representative whose book now wraps her -- and, by implication, the president -- in the heroism of motherhood. Its theme is clear by the identifying lines under her name on the book's front jacket: 'Counselor to the President. Wife and Mother. The woman who left the White House to put family first, and moved back home to Texas.'"

When Howard Hughes thought he thought big and he never hesitated to take new directions. Conceived when German U-boats were ravaging Allied shipping in the Atlantic, the "Spruce Goose" was built primarily of birch -- not spruce -– in response to a wartime metal shortage. It had eight engines and the capacity to carry 700 troops or a load of 60 tons. In terms of wingspan (320 feet, which is longer than a football field) and weight (400,000 pounds) it is still the largest plane ever built. The war ended before it was completed. But it was flown -- once -- in Long Beach Harbor on Nov. 2, 1947.

`Roy’ Hughes was born on 5 April 1917 in Penmaenmawr, North Wales. He lived in the shadow of Graig-lwyd, spoke Welsh as his first language, and often walked on the hill with his father looking for artefacts in the Neolithic stone axe factory. After leaving school Hughes worked briefly in London until war broke out, when he joined the Royal Army Ordnance Corps and saw action at Dunkirk and on the Normandy beach-head. After demobilisation he studied history at Coleg Harlech and the University College of North Wales at Bangor and was employed by the (then) Ministry of Works as an archaeologist, excavating at Caerleon and Thetford. In 1950 Hughes was appointed assistant curator at Derby Museum and Art Gallery, where he was to remain until he retired as deputy director and keeper of antiquities in 1982. He specialized in the prehistory of Derbyshire and regularly participated in excavations, including the Romano-British kilns at Shottle and Hazelwood; the Derby Racecourse Roman site; St Alkmund’s Church Saxon/Medieval site; Barton Blount deserted village; the old Derby china works and Derby Bridge chapel.
