11bee Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) His class and leadership are sorely missed. RIP President Bush. I think he'll end up being judged as one of the better US presidents in history. Edited December 1, 2018 by 11bee Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chriss7607 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Wow- how strange is that! No joke, just last night I was thinking of him, his WWII service, this being his first Christmas without Barbara, and wondering if George W. would be with him. Very sad. R.I.P., sir.

ChesshireCat Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 The way I remember Bush Forty One, is that he was a people person. Seemed to just love people from all walks in life. His wife was the same way, and you gotta respect that! Just one hell of a likeable guy. He will be missed! Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I had the privilege of meeting him in 2003. We flew into Portland, ME and they told us there was a VIP flying out. I think he had been up there for the commissioning of the aircraft carrier named after him. Of course, US Airways, who was responsible for servicing our airplanes in Philly and DC, had once again failed to service the lav, in spite of our best efforts to get them to do it. The whole plane smelled like a porta-potty. A black SUV met us when we parked, and President Bush got out. It was a pretty day, and he wanted to stretch his legs before getting on the cramped CRJ. We were overnighting there and the other crew hadn't shown up, yet, so my first officer and I stood around talking airplanes with him for about 30 minutes. He was such a down-to-earth person, and talked to us as fellow aviators. To this day, I'm embarrassed for his having to fly on such a foul-smelling airplane. Fair winds and blue skies, Mr President.
