Not surprising but what they left out was the fact that Bush Sr. headed out to Texas on his own and got his own start in the oil business by selling oil drilling equipment which then evolved into his forming his own oil company.......He wasn’t what you would consider a typical Kennedy........

************************************************
We visited LeTourneau University (in Longview, TX) about 14 years ago -
They had a video about the school which included a clip of Bush 41 talking about how RG LeTourneau’s invention of the off-shore oil drilling platform (Bush 41’s company was the first customer ever for one of these) resulted in him making so much money that he was later able to go into politics.
Lots of interesting connections ......
