What I remember most about former President George H W Bush is when he teamed up with former President Bill Clinton to help with the Hurricane Katrina relief fund.   I was only 21 when he was elected POTUS and he was a one-term president so not much memory to recall. :)

He did seem like a very kind man.  Rest In Peace, sir.

....his wife, Barbara

....and obviously: "read my lips"

I guess he was ok. He flew many missions over German in W W I I and bombed them. But it was a bit much during his campaign when he said, '' Read my lips......No new taxes '' Then he raised taxes anyway .

He was the very first president that I voted for. I knew nothing about politics and parties back then. I just voted for him because he seemed to me to be a very good my, nice man.....

His wife ! Barbara !

After a week off, we're back with another Wednesday episode of Hodinkee Radio. In addition link to the podcast feed, each episode also has video, so swing by Hodinkee's YouTube channel (or watch below). Only want the link audio? It's being published to the same old Hodinkee Radio feed, so check your feeds link or subscribe wherever you find your podcasts (might we recommend Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, or TuneIn).

In addition to watching link this video I watched link several other short ones including the History of the Rolex Date-Day President the Hamilton corporations 1949 classic How a Watch Works and The Balance Spring by someone named Patrick Reed. I hoped this last one would help me understand how link balance springs work but unfortunately Mr. Reed seemed merely to have filmed a balance spring and left it at that.
