June 12, 2024, will mark 100 years since the birth of the late President George H.W. Bush. The day before, Random House will publish a commemorative volume by Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Jon Meacham, "A Call to Serve."

Zoom in: Drawn in part from Meacham's New York Times bestseller, "Destiny and Power: The American Odyssey of George Herbert Walker Bush," the book features 450+ photos — some never published. Others are classics by David Hume Kennerly, David Valdez and others.

The book also draws on decades of scrapbooks kept by the late Barbara Bush, the former first lady. Her scrapbooks are held at the George H. W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum in College Station, Texas.

I wonder if they included a picture of Barbara Bush’s father?

I’m convinced the assassination of JFK was planned in her living loom and when she came in with a tray of sandwiches and coffee, nobody felt the need to stop talking.

Any pics of that? Babs was annoying if you ask me.

Her father was Marvin Pierce, a civil engineer.

It wasn’t Aleister Crowley.

I remember her talking trash about Nancy Reagan during her boob husband’s inauguration in 1988. But for the Reagans the Bushes would have remained the arrant nobodies they were and deserved to be. GH Bush had one won federal election - to the House in a safe R Texas seat; he lost when running for the Senate and somehow thought himself entitled to be President. Both he and his even less-talented son were disasters.

Daddy Bush ignited the Middle East like no President in History. His suckering of Saddam set events in motion that have never stopped.

I can’t think of many things I would like less than to read that book.
