R.I.P. President George H.W. Bush

Wow, that was something. My Dad was of that generation, as well. They are something truly special. They will be sorely missed.

Interesting … the first time I went to his museum/library a great train exhibit was underway there …

I am always extremely impressed with people that sacrifice themselves to their country in war and public service. He did it in a kind way too.

Indeed there are very few who are a Gentleman like he was. I have faith he is in a happier place.

I'm young and more left-leaning than most here but I was born and raised when Reagan and Bush Sr. were presidents. I recall seeing him on TV when I was in elementary school. He was indeed a class act. Someone I'd have a beer(or two) with.

I know a guy who presented him a shotgun at his house in Texas. After a quick inspection, he said let's put a few rounds through it! This was during his Presidency, must have drove the secret service guys crazy.

Watched them board and then 4141 pull out on live stream from the EU … I have family in College Station so they will be perched somewhere when the train arrives …
Hats off to our military for the job that have done with his service …

Can we stick to the original topic?

Please?

I'll have to look through my book collection. Many years ago, I read a biography on him. It was pretty dated, so certainly didn't cover everything!
