This morning Ron Woods, NAFUSA Executive Director Emeritus, sent this email to his fellow Bush 41 appointees, resulting in some fine photos with the President:
To Bush 41 U.S. AttorneysI hope you were able to watch the two funerals/celebrations of life that were televised over the past two days in Washington and Houston. The military arranged the funerals and they were spectacular, with a flight overhead of 21 Navy jets as President Bush arrived at his final resting place at his Presidential Library at Texas A & M.The celebrations showing his accomplishments and how respected and admired he was made me feel very proud that I was appointed by President Bush and I hope you felt the same. President Bush was finally recognized for the many achievements he obtained in his one term Presidency. Bush was a remarkable human being devoted to public service, honor, duty, country. He was such a gentleman to everyone.Several months ago, our Houston Chapter of Former FBI Agents was having our monthly lunch in a private room in a local restaurant. During the lunch, the door was opened and James Baker pushed President Bush into the room in his wheelchair. There were about 30 of us in the room and James Baker said “I’m James Baker and I used to be Secretary of State and President Bush wanted to say a few words to you”President Bush said that he was having lunch in the restaurant and the manager advised him that ex FBI Agents were having lunch in the private room. He stated I don’t want to interrupt your lunch but I wanted to express my thanks for your public service and how much I admire the FBI and the men and women who serve in the FBI. He was such a class act.The news as I write this is that our friend and colleague Former Attorney General Bill Barr is the front runner to be named Attorney General. Further proof of the soundness of President Bush appointees.The photo below was taken at the 1992 Republican Convention in Houston as I was coordinating with the Secret Service on security issues.Ron Woods
