IN REMEMBRANCE---2018 AD

Former US President George H. W. Bush has died.

He will probably be remembered for putting together Operation Desert Storm.
He may have wanted to be remembered for "1000 points of light".
He also served a non-spectacular role: to be "the steady hand on the tiller" when half the world (the USSR) collapsed.

I like to remember light hearted things about people. Bush will also be remembered for not allowing broccoli to be served in the White House because of his dislike of it. Broccoli growers were very upset by his vocal dislike of broccoli. And that at 90 he went skydiving on his birthday.
