Former President George H.W. Bush waves to the crowd in Kennebunkport as he returns to Maine for the summer.

Former President George H.W. Bush is in Maine for the summer, and for the first time in 73 years, he’s without his wife by his side. The 93-year-old Bush arrived at his summer home in Kennebunkport on Sunday, a month after the funeral for his wife, former first lady Barbara Bush. A Bush spokesman says the nation’s 41st president was eager to get to Maine after enduring his wife’s death and then falling ill with a blood infection that landed him in the hospital.
