Hinkley was in close with GHW Bush’s family.

Hinkley's wealthy parents were movers and shakers within the Texas oil industry and Colorado's Republican Party.

Not with GHW Bush.

Hinkley was known and socialized with younger adult members of the GHW Bush family.

This connection was spiked during the attempted Reagan assassination.
