Kind of a cool story here, a kid we know has been working as part of the grounds keeping crew for HW at his Kennebunk house. Really good kid who has been working the past three summers there. Straight A student, one of the top football players in the state, just a solid kid top to bottom. There is absolutely nothing you can say bad about this kid.
Well last summer the Bush's head of staff asked him to go to lunch with him. While they were at lunch, the HoS tells him that the Bush's feel that the place for him is Annapolis. The president drafted a letter of recommendation for this kid, as well as one from W, to attend Annapolis. 17 years old and this kid is set for life.
Barbara loved him too, just such a good kid.

that’s pretty cool. Lots of stories like this about the man, who always said humility was the most important trait in a man.

A decent man who had a strong moral compass....
I have reflected on this since I heard it.
If only current officials could find some of this in their own constitution. (note I said officials, not leaders....for they are not)

hey, Newsweek called Bush a wimp on their cover, and donna brazile ( yes, that donna brazile) pushed a lie that he had a mistress.
