I reckon Mr Bush is a pretty neat man FRom a pretty neat family.

When G H W Bush became Mr Reagan's Vice President a 14-year-old Aussie wrote to him and said he'd learned at school that American VPs didn't have much to do and, as Mr Bush would probably have some time to kill, perhaps he'd like a pen-FRiend to keep him occupied.

A correspondence was established that I believe still continues -- but eight years later "the kid" was invited by President Bush to his inaugaration.

Good People!

Great story, Brian. What a breath of fresh air this president is. Cheers, By.
