I attended a fundraiser last night for Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander. Senator Alexander's special guest was George H.W. Bush. I, briefly, got to meet our 41st President who was kind, generous and seemed to enjoy the company of the younger 20 and 30 year olds there to meet him.
When Senator Alexander introduced President Bush to the crowd last night he spoke of the historic times in which President Bush guided our nation through. The fall of Communism, the unification of Germany and the first Gulf War.
President Bush, although he doesn't get credit, also set the stage for our economy to experience the boom in the 90s to which Bill Clinton receives so much credit.
President Bush only served one term, but make no mistake, history should rememeber this fine man as a great leader and patriot who sheparded this country through some very historic times and events.

One word about you meeting Bush 41.... Jealous!
Sorry Vanessa. If it makes you feel any better, it is the first time that I have ever met a President, sitting or former.
