When President Bush arrives in his helicopter Tuesday morning, he’ll be greeted by a welcoming sign from a local family. “You won’t be able to see it, except from the air,” said Lori Beaulieu of 94 Cumberland Street, Lewiston. “It’s going to be up on the roof of our house, right where he can’t miss it when he flies in.” The sign will be 30 feet long and will say, “Welcome Mr. Bush from Steve’s Signs.” “It’s made of paper, so we’re not going to put it up until about quarter of seven, because we don’t want the dew to wet it,” Mrs. Beaulieu said. “My husband painted it. He’s a sign painter.” “We got the idea yesterday when we went over to my brother’s, and my nephew was all excited because the test flight had come right over. He said it was so close he thought the helicopter was going to hit the house. So we thought we’d do something to welcome him,” she said.
