41 had been with the OSS/CIA since before Yale. His family has been with the behind-the-scenes power people since at least the 1200’s. I guarded him and his aircraft, vehicles at night on a regular basis when he was travelling to Iowa to campaign for the nomination while I worked for Al Haig in the daytime.
Wow! I am naïve to the power structures that be. He did handle the Gulf War well. How did he lose such a lead? his approval was staggering after that. Some said the media hid the recovery. Some said it was the tax increase. I don’t know.
I wasn’t as involved in politics at the time.
It sounds like you hand an awesome career. Beats graphics :)
