I have a distant cousin who is an artist and has become something close to obsessed with George H. W. Bush. Last time I saw him a few years ago, he was working on a series of paintings depicting Bush's life at every hour on the day he was shot down.

I loved this cartoon, especially once I learned the full story behind it:

Even if you hated our 41st president, this has to bring a smile to your face or tear to your eye if you have any remnants of humanity.
I believe that history will be kind to President George H. W. Bush.

God Speed, Mister President.

I had a Lodge Brother who was an ME-109 pilot (can't remember, but think an ace) who always said CAVU stood for "Clear Allde Vay Up"!
