First Lady Loses Spokeswoman To Allures Of Country Life

What's better than working for first lady Laura Bush? Well, in the case of spokeswoman Susan Whitson, it's starting a family and fishing. "I will miss working at the White House and with Mrs. Bush very much," she says. But time's up after handling questions for nearly two years. Her goal after leaving in March is starting a family in the picturesque Virginia town of Little Washington. And look for the weekend angler casting one of famed tier Harry Murray's "Mr. Rapidan" flies for trout and smallmouth bass.
