    His mother could not decide what to name her son. She had three names picked out and in the end she named him all three - George Herbert Walker. The family's last name was tacked on at the end.

    Bush.

    Denny and I spent the day at the Bush Presidential Library and Museum. It is located on the campus of Texas A&M. Our 41st president and his wife Barbara are buried in a beautiful setting behind the Library.

    We followed the path around the Presidential Pond (catch and release) and onto a wooded trail to the gravesites. George is there. Along with Barbara and their daughter Robin - they lost her at the age of three to leukemia.

    Denny and I were not the only visitors to the gravesite today. There was a constant stream of people from all walks of life showing their respect to a good and decent man.

    Our day ended at Porters Dining + Butcher Restaurant. Nice filets with a dessert surprise from the staff.
