Remembering George H.W. Bush's Lighter Sides
Since his death on Friday at the age of 94, George H.W. Bush has been remembered for his decades in the public eye as a congressman, diplomat, CIA director, vice president, and of course, president.
His death has also brought about countless remembrances of Bush's more private side, and his life as a husband, father, grandfather and friend. These stories have offered new — and sometimes surprising — insights into the character of the nation's 41st president, and some of the hobbies, people and events that shaped him.
As the nation prepares to mark four days of ceremony in memory of Bush, we look back at a few of the more unexpected sides of his life.
