CAPTAIN
JOE GLAVIN
Texas ANG F-102 pilot and squadron mate of Lt. George W. Bush

REMEMBERING GEORGE W. BUSH . . .
I flew with then 1st Lt. Bush in the Texas Air Guard at Ellington AFB in the early 70's. I remember one night when we were out in the Gulf of Mexico, in the high altitude work area, when I lost my radio during an intercept with George. He rejoined with my aircraft and led me back to Ellington, where I landed safely. A job well done. It was a long time ago but I have always remembered that incident.
George was a good pilot, a good guy, and was liked by everyone. <READ MORE>
