Hello!
Happy Birthday to my Bush cousins.
This is Richard Howie, coming to you live from Austin Texas, making stories great again in 2017!
I just heard on the news tonight that one of our cousins, Barbara Bush is celebrating her 92nd birthday, and our other cousin, George Herbert Walker Bush will soon too. Though he will be celebrating his 93rd! As I am sure you remember from a prior post, both Barbara Bush & our former 41st President, George Herbert Walker Bush are our 8th cousins on different family tree branches. They were both born in the 20's, married in the 40's and now share together their 90's! Happy Birthday to our cousins, The Bush's!
2017, Barbara & George Bush celebrate their 90's! |
Here is Barbara Pierce on her wedding day to George, with her mother and father.

Barbara's mother was just 53 years of age at the time of her death.
The folks at Wiki have Barbara incorrectly born in Rye, New York. Actually that location comes from the 1930 U.S. Census. She was actually born in Flushings! Yes, our Barbara, our cousin, and former first lady, was born in Flushing, Queens, New York.

My love for statistics comes from college. This is absolutely amazing when looking at it statistically to have two cousins living into their 90's, and joining in marriage for over seventy-two years! I don't think you will see this too often in many family trees.
