The man in the white suit is a copycat Samuel Langhorne Clemens, aka Mark Twin. The real Twain visited Portsmouth in 1907. This re-enactor spole at Strawbery Banke in the early 1980s. Behind him stands another irascible figure, Barbara Bush, distinguished as the wife of one president and the mother of another.
