"A look back in photos at George H.W. Bush, the 41st president of the United States" was first published by The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit, nonpartisan media organization that informs Texans — and engages with them — about public policy, politics, government and statewide issues.
George H.W. Bush — former president, vice-president, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, congressman, Texas oilman and patriarch of an American political dynasty — passed away at his home in Houston on Friday. Here is a photo gallery of mostly Texas moments from Bush's life.
