George Herbert Walker Bush's roots run deep here in Greenwich, Connecticut. 

He epitomized the best in selfless service to America, and he is remembered as one of this nation's 'Greatest Generation.' A consummate patriot, statesman and president, Bush was a decorated veteran who spent three years as a naval aviator flying combat missions during World War II.

On the Wednesday, 23rd of October, 2019 broadcast of Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons, I welcomed Rod Bengston, director of Exhibits, Restoration and Curatorial Services of the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum in Hawaii.

The yellow aircraft pictured here is in the museum; it is the plane that Mr. Bush trained in. Click here also. 

The museum is also restoring the same type of plane Bush crashed in -a plane that survived the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese Empire on December 7, 1941.

For many Americans, the events of Sept. 11, 2001, are impossible to forget. Images of dark plumes of smoke billowing from the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, of people jumping from collapsing buildings, of ash coated survivors, strangers just moments before, comforting each other as they flee from the area will be forever ingrained in our nation's collective consciousness. Cities and towns around the country will pay tribute to the lives lost that day.

That holds true in Greenwich. I shared some retrospective thoughts about what's happening in Greenwich and in New York as we mark the anniversary of the 911 attacks on the Wednesday, September 11, 2019 broadcast of Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons, starting after the 9:00 a.m. news on Radio 1490 WGCH and WGCH.com anywhere. 

We also featured an encore conversation with Julien Icher of the Lafayette Trail Project- he's coming to Greenwich next month. Details pending.
