I first met George H.W. Bush in 1978, when we were both governors. We were both young and ambitious, and we quickly became friends. We shared a love of golf and fishing, and we enjoyed talking about politics and life. Over the years, our friendship only grew stronger. We supported each other through good times and bad, and we always had each other's backs.

In this book, I share some of my favorite stories about my friend George Bush. These stories are about our time together on the golf course, on the fishing boat, and in the Oval Office. They are stories about friendship, laughter, and love. I hope you enjoy them.

Chapter 1: The First Time We Met

I first met George Bush in 1978, when we were both governors. I was the governor of Arkansas, and he was the governor of Texas. We were both young and ambitious, and we quickly became friends. We shared a love of golf and fishing, and we enjoyed talking about politics and life. Over the years, our friendship only grew stronger. We supported each other through good times and bad, and we always had each other's backs.

The first time we met, we were at a governors' conference. We were both giving speeches, and we were both nervous. After our speeches, we met for a drink. We talked for hours, and we quickly realized that we had a lot in common. We both loved our families, we both loved our country, and we both had a passion for public service.

We stayed in touch after that first meeting, and we quickly became friends. We played golf together, we went fishing together, and we talked about politics and life. We also supported each other through good times and bad. When I was elected president in 1992, George Bush was one of the first people I called. He was there for me when I needed him, and I was there for him when he needed me.

Chapter 2: The Golf Game

George Bush is a great golfer. He's not just good, he's really good. I've played golf with him many times, and I've never seen him have a bad round. He's always in control of his game, and he always seems to make the right shot. I've learned a lot about golf from George, and I'm a better golfer because of him.

But golf is more than just a game to George. It's a way to relax and have fun. He loves to compete, but he also loves to socialize. He's always up for a good time, and he's always the life of the party. I've had some of the best times of my life playing golf with George Bush.

One of my favorite memories of playing golf with George was during the 1992 presidential campaign. We were playing in a tournament in Florida, and we were both playing well. We were neck-and-neck coming down the stretch, and we both had a chance to win. On the last hole, I hit a great drive, but my second shot went into the water. George hit a great drive, and he had a short iron into the green. He hit a perfect shot, and he made birdie. I made bogey, and George won the tournament.

I was disappointed that I didn't win, but I was happy for George. He had played a great round, and he deserved to win. We shook hands, and we congratulated each other. Then we went to the clubhouse and had a drink. We talked about the round, and we laughed about our shots. It was a great day, and I'm glad I got to share it with George.

Chapter 3: The Fishing Trip

George Bush loves to fish. He's not just good at it, he's really good at it. I've gone fishing with him many times, and I've never seen him come back empty-handed. He always knows where the fish are, and he always seems to catch the biggest fish. I've learned a lot about fishing from George, and I'm a better fisherman because of him.

But fishing is more than just a hobby to George. It's a way to relax and connect with nature. He loves to be on the water, and he loves to feel the sun on his face. He's also a great teacher, and he's always willing to share his knowledge with others. I've had some of the best times of my life fishing with George Bush.

One of my favorite memories of fishing with George was during the 1992 presidential campaign. We were fishing in a lake in Texas, and we were both having a great time. We were catching fish left and right, and we were both laughing and joking. It was a perfect day, and I'm glad I got to share it with George.

After we finished fishing, we sat on the dock and talked for hours. We talked about our families, our dreams, and our hopes for the future. It was a great conversation, and I felt like I got to know George better than ever before. I'm grateful for the friendship I have with George Bush. He's a great man, and I'm lucky to have him in my life.

Chapter 4: The Oval Office

George Bush was a great president. He was a strong leader, and he always put the interests of the country first. He was also a compassionate man, and he always cared about the people he served. I had the privilege of working with George Bush for eight years, and I learned a lot from him. He was a great mentor, and he taught me a lot about leadership and public service.

One of the most important things I learned from George Bush was the importance of bipartisanship. George Bush was a Republican, and I was a Democrat, but we were able to work together to get things done. We put the interests of the country first, and we were able to achieve great things. I'm proud of the work we did together, and I'm grateful for the friendship I have with George Bush.

I'll never forget the day I left the Oval Office for the last time. George Bush was there to greet me, and we hugged each other. We both had tears in our eyes, but we were also both smiling. We had served our country together, and we had made a difference in the world. It was a great day, and I'm grateful for the opportunity I had to work with George Bush.

George Bush is a great man. He's a great friend, a great
