George Herbert Walker Bush
George Herbert Walker Bush was the 41st President of the United States. From his humble beginnings in New England to the highest office in the land, Bush's journey is a fascinating one. George H. W. Bush was born on June 12, 1924, in Milton, Massachusetts, into a family of esteemed lineage and business acumen. The seeds of leadership were sown early in his life, with a father who served as a United States Senator and an influential presence in the world of finance. Raised with strong values of integrity, compassion, and duty, young George developed a sense of responsibility that would shape his path for years to come. Enlisting in the Navy during World War II, he displayed courage and valor as a naval aviator, surviving harrowing combat missions and earning prestigious honors for his bravery. His experiences in the war ignited a sense of camaraderie with his fellow servicemen and fostered a lifelong respect for those who serve their country. After the war he attended Yale University. Graduating Phi Beta Kappa in just two and a half years, he embarked on a successful career in the oil industry, and his path eventually led to serve the nation he loved. Entering the realm of public service, he served as a member of the House of Representatives and as a United States Ambassador to the United Nations. His diplomatic finesse and dedication garnered respect from both sides of the aisle. But it was his term as Vice President under Ronald Reagan that solidified Bush's place in history. His steadfast loyalty and measured leadership during a transformative era in American politics showcased the qualities that would later earn him the highest office in the land. As the 41st President of the United States, George H. W. Bush faced challenges on the domestic and international stage. From navigating complex foreign policy issues, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War, to addressing pressing domestic concerns, his presidency was defined by a sense of duty, pragmatism, and a commitment to unity. Beyond the realm of politics, George H. W. Bush's legacy is etched in his compassion and dedication to philanthropy. His post-presidency years were marked by a profound desire to make a difference in the lives of others, from humanitarian efforts to disaster relief initiatives, exemplifying the belief that service is a lifelong calling.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
