Good morning. I see that now. Maybe this translation got hosed up and was referring to the fact that George H.W.Bush was head of the Rep. Natl. Committee and also head of the CIA which he was. As an aside, I’ve seen interviews where Laura says she was a Democrat when she met W. Of course in those days there were many conservative dems in Texas. Texas own Charlie Wilson was (and still is) a Democratic, commie hating patriot.
Yes, I think the author confused Laura’s father with GHW Bush.
I wrote the post above to remind all of us to be careful in what we accept as “true.”
Genealogy is my hobby/passion, and it is amazing how often wrong data gets put on official documents, for innocent reasons. We all have experiences of finding errors in newspaper articles - when we have firsthand knowledge of the topic.
We have to remember this and be cautions about accepting anything about which we do not have first-hand knowledge as totally true.
Bingo.
