While the First Lady has aged gracefully, I still like this image of her in 1940.

As newly weds, they had a flight training assignment not far from where I live on Grosse Ile, MI, at the Grosse Ile Naval Air Station. Here's a picture of the GINAS, from the air.

I have a dear friend, that in the early '40s was active with the USO at GINAS and clearly remembers playing bridge with Barbara Bush, the wife of a young officer here for carrier training at the big circle in the middle of the airport, something called an "aerodrome", where they'd line up a "make shift" carrier deck for take off and landing drills. She remembers BB as a very nice and friendly young lady and great bridge player.

I have friends at that field today.

Do not land in the pattern wrong, and overfly the Canadian Airspace, the FEDS will send the Predators out after you.

BTW.....

Their is a public beach not far from that anchor. Younger and Bolder I swam in it's 59 degree water after about a 4 mile run to get their....

My mother had that hair style.

Seeing a photo like that reminds me of my desire to turn back the clock on so many things....... er, except the computer, widescreen color tv, my AR, well, and a few other things, but I love the history of that time.

Wow. BB was - and still is a beauty.
