removed because ofwe kennebunkport. >> it's a big sprawling piece of land. it carries aca huge amount of family history in it.nt but it is neither too opulent os overdone in any way. they're not trying to impress anybody. it says a lot about him and about barbara bush.ays it's a place for family and friends to be together. and that's the attraction of it and that's what you feel when you're there. >> you can see by his body action and his words how important kennebunkport, maine is to him. it's important to the entire network of bush family now because of the importance in him. the joys he gets of watching his grandchildren blossom intoandc adults and to see the success of his family, i think far exceeds any success that he's had in hid life, which in my mind, far exceeds anything that anybody else in our family has everr done. >> my husband is great.

married 65 years. and there is no dark side, truthfully. sometimes he makes me sort ofde. mad, but i've never been ashamed or embarrassed about it. and i've always been proud ofso him. >> george herbert walker bush ao met barbara pierce at a high school dance in 1941. just a few weeks after the december 7 attack on pearl harbor. e asked someone there, do you know the girl in the red and green dress? >> beautiful girl. >> he didn't say that. yeah, i grew up with her. george said, go cut in on her. in those days we did that. and then you can bring her over and introduce me to her. which they did. we they played a waltz and waltzing matilda didn't waltz and he said, do you mind if we sit down a minute? and we did and talked. then i went to the aroundover dance with him. he's the first person who kissed me, kissed me in front of 15 people who didn't seem to i

notice, but i almost fainteder t from excitement. 16, 17, 18 -- you were 17 then. >> 17. you were 16. >> 189 next day. -- 18 the next day. that's like a song. ♪ you were 16. i was 17 ♪ >> i don't think they'reink interested. >> two teen-agers in love with wars in europe and the pacific, the future did not look bright. bush joined his fellow americans and enlisted as soon as he turned 18. he earned his wings and became the youngest pilot in the navy at the time. >> we wouldn't hear from you forever. and his mother and father were t wonderful and i had a brothereru who was overseas. i had a brother-in-law who wasei overseas. but it was different. different times. >> greg bush flew off carriers. the targets of his 58 bombingrs. missions were japanesear installations on smallge islands

in the pacific. bush's war time diary includes descriptions of his close calls and the bombing run on a area hit by nap knees. he bailed out, but his crew did not survive. >> when he was shot down, i gotd a notice saying they had seen i him rowing. they picked him up. then his mom called me a day later saying he's fine. he could have come home then. but he chose to stay. he's a hugely patriotic american. >> bush arrivedss home on christmas eve 1944, two weeks later, friends and family attended george and barbara's wedding. >> it was a very sort of funny day, i think.orge but we had a luncheon and myunn honest husband stood up and just wowed them all because he said something nice about, and you

know barbara means beautiful, blah, blah, and on and on. you lookni it up, it means barbu means barbaric, strange. but he just lied. beautiful, the wedding. >> not long after, the new bride's father wrote a letter predicting the young couple's future. >> george was at yale. he said i think he's the big man on campus. but hewr said, some day he could be president of the united states. he reallyy thought george wasmed wonderful. we didn't expect that then. we did not think he was going to be president. but he worked hard all his life and did everything the best he could, i believe. best son, best father, best student always. best athlete.>> i'll have the pictures in a moment.mi >> reporter: barbara credits the bush family matriarch for much of her husband's success. >> she was the most

extraordinary woman, truthfully. she was a great golfer, great tennis player, great paddle tennis player, very nice. put on less airs than anyone i knew. she really taught him all the things that you learn in kindergarten, talked about the other fellow, don't talk about yourself. and maybe she made george a fault that he shouldn't havege had. but she told me one day, i think george bush is the greatest president i knew, and i knew agb lot, but he had one fault. he never took credit. >> george h.w. bush's personal modesty has not kept his family and his wife from telling in arn way he never would how he f influenced them, america, and indeed the world. more of a bush family album in a moment.

>> my greatest inheritance besides love from my father was the fact that my dad moved from new england to texas.

>> president george w. bush, the eldest of their five children. >> he could have stayed up east, gone into wall street, settled into a very comfortable life. but instead, he packed up mothen and me and moved out to odessa,o texas. i always have admired him for his pioneering spirit. >> moving to odessa, texas, well, i had never been here before. it was dusty and the people wee wonderful. >> george bush went to texas to build a career on his own instead of following in his father's footsteps. >> he told me that he really didn't want to work with something you couldn't touch, like banking or something that his family had done and maybe others, too. and he was offered jobs by a lot of groups. who turned you down? >> procter & gamble. >> they make a fine soap. >> they do make a fine soap. but george didn't even apply. but he he wanted to go.so

he had been to corpus christi being trained and i think he really loved that feeling of doing something different. >> when i think back to midland, texas, i think of baseball. my dad was a very good baseball player. he was a captain of a successfu. yale baseball team. they went to the ncaapl championship twice. sadly lost both times. and he was a good first baseman. i t used to love to play catchhp with him. i remember the first time he said, son, i can throw as hard as i want. ti which meant a lot to me because it meant i had come of age, at least in terms of being able ta catch a baseball. >> the bush family began to grow. first was ame daughter, robin, d another son, jeb. bush went into the oil business and founded the zapata petroleum business with a group of investors in 1953. it became an offshore drilling operation with rigs around the

world. >> we had some very difficult times. when the rig went down and that was what stirred the company's holding, that's tough. but you have to have somebody who knows what it means to have 60 people or whatever number they have depending on yourpr livelihood. i think that's important. >> the difficult times the bushes faced in the oil business were nothing compared to a parent's worst nightmare.aced when three-year-old robin was diagnosed with leukemia and died a year later. the lessons george bush learned in building a business creating jobs and meeting a payroll>> became key to his next career.hd >> when he came and told me he was going to run for county chairman, he didn't quite tell me that there were 300 some precincts or 200 some precincts and he was campaigning. i thought they'd all fall down and say yes, perfect.

all our friends thought it was nutty. but george rolled up his sleeves and did it and loved it. >> politics became the family business. and was the same eagerness and drive he used to build his company, george h.w. bush worked his way to the top. >> preserve, protect and defend a constitution of the unitedstit states. >> so help me god. >> so help me god. hel >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> dad handled his relationship with president reagan extremely well. he remained loyal to the man who pickedem him to be vice presidet right up to the moment of the t convention. when thehe curtain rose, he gavt one of the great convention speeches ever. that then helped define who he was. >> i will keep america moving forward always forward, for a better america, for an endless, enduring dream and 1,000 points of light. this is my mission and i will complete it! >> my dad is an informal guy. he can relax and he sure loved his dog, ranger.ure i love the picture of ranger

relaxed on the rug in the oval office. the picture to me speaks about the importance of the job. the work a president has to do d to do the job people expect. having ranger around added some comfort to him. >> george h.w. bush's presidency added challenges and opportunity on the international and domestic fronts. the liberation of kuwait and putting down saddam hussein in the gulf war gave bush one of thee highest approval ratings ever for any president. but his numbers fell sharply during the 1992 presidential campaign. >> i think it was the worst year of my life watching george bush get defeated for president. >> i just called governor b clinton over in little rock and> offered my congratulations. he did run a strong campaign. >> what's interesting about the moment, mother's attitude was, it's over. get on with your life. that's exactly what we did.life

with his help and his encouragement. >> george called everyone to come into the east room, the staff. they're very, very proud of him. wonderful marine announced ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united stateser and in hees walks. and he was funny. >> actually i was staying in the lincoln bedroom and i couldn't resist getting on the phone and called up the secret service as the president and said, feeld like jogging tonight in the nude? >> there were a lot of things. >> it was a silly gesture, which i don't use. naga gonna do it. >> george, you were very good, he insisted everybody in the white house work 'til the last moment and that they helped the clinton people as best they could. i think they did. and his mother, precious motheru

died. the day that the clintons came to see the white house. >> the loss of the presidencye h for george bush held an unusual twist of fate. >> i thought about it a lot. broke my heart. but he said, i realize that with the press against you and you don't have the house or the senate, george never -- that you would have had the worst four years of your life. and not me. just the family. and it took it a while for know buy that. but maybe that's true.e. >> maybe george wouldn't have been elected president. >> he wouldn't.>> he wouldn't have been elected governor. >> it would have been very difficult for hi to have rune n 1994, and difficult for jeb to have run in 1994 and so his paia really made -- pain of loss made it possible for us to run for public service, which i found tr be one of the great ironies of my life. >> for only the second time in american history, a father and

son each had served as president. john adams was our second president and son john quincy w adams, number six. george bush 43 remembers his first day in office and the surprise visit from 41. >> i was sitting at the desk just reflecting and kind of w absorbing the environment and in walks my dad. from my perspective, it was an unbelievably touching moment that he would come and share thl early moments of my presidency with me. >> president george w. bush and president george h.w. bush may share a great deal, but the father did not have a vision or plan for his son. >> he didn't have some visionsh about what i should do in life. he didn't say, look, you need t' practice fielding for ten hours a day, 'cause i want you to be a great short stop.go o his attitude was, i'll provide some examples for you of how to live your life. i will settu certain values ando get it.rt i wish you all the very best.

obviously if we needed help or vice, he was there.i but he never really tried to steer the course of our life or which i am eternally grateful. >> and there is at least one thing that sets the two presidents apart.lif >> i think it's fabulous, but not to the point where i want to emulate him. >> thatt was fun. what's -- >> when he had a kid and had to jump out after getting out, he hit his head and couldn't remember the moment, so he wanted to remember what it was like to jump out of an airplane' since then, he is serving as an example to older citizens thatto you can live life to the fullest. i think it's really cool. >> throughout his life, president george h.w. bush set examples for others to follow, including me. i followed bush 41 out the side of an airplane as a celebration of his 80th birthday. it was very cool. indeed, very cold at

the youngest of the family. as they were growing up, their father left the oil business to enter politics. >> when you're ten years old and you see your father on a billboard, it's kind of novel -- for it was novel, neat my father lost his big election big deal. everyone expected him to lose. then he ran for congress, then was one of only 24 congressmen at that point in texas who was t republican. the only republican. that was a pretty big deal. then as your profile rises in politics, there is more scrutini and for those of us who obviously care about my dad, itf gets tougher and tougher. >> but with his family's supporg and despite many political battles, bush never shied away from seeking public office. >> we lived in washington a lot. there was a congressman when george was head of the c.i.a., head of the republican party, he was a lot of things.pu he's a man who can't say no. >> after the thankless job of heading the republican national committee during watergate, and the nixon resignation, president

gerald ford offered bush a choice of enviable posts. >> what he told us, guess where we're going, i mean, they guessed 400 countries, when they got to china. i think it was the best thing that happened to us. >> i was thinking about the weather. a learned something -- i would talk to myself. when i got over there, not one thing that i had learned was appropriate. every american knew that. i lovedd it. the food was divine. >> we did take a really fun trip to china. we were there for over a month or a couple months.to and we traveled. my mom became an expert on a lot of the tour sites in china, but especially the forbidden city. it was pretty exciting time. >> and there were further interesting and challenging

times ahead for the bush children. >> my dad became president. was a huge thrill. it wasn't a surprise, really. h it's not as if he wasn't qualified to be president. i don't know. it kind of fit with who he was. but for us, our dad was just the same. >> i will saydo it wasn't all t much fun because the intensity isme ratcheted up.ot all of us are so protective of our dad. there is perception and there is reality. there's a newweek article when he was running for president and on the cover it said, the wimp factor. i thought to myself, that's oddr here is a guy who served his country as a young pilot, there was probably an expectation that this ivy league guy would go toi wall street, but he went to west texas and built a business. a true family guy, which is rare in washington. here is a guy who literally watched his daughter die. takes a lot of courage to keep s family together after that. here is a guy who just by virtue of the way he lived his life has

proven -- you have this perception, and then you have reality. there were a couple ways you can handle that. you canve retreat, you know, or you can do what darla and i did, which was spend more time with him. >> my dad is a famous for letter writing. so that gives awe glimpse of wh he is. >> george bush expressed his gratitude to others through a go continual stream of personalude letters and notes. they were edited and collected into a book by his long-time assistants, jean becker. and bush described the book as, quote, letters written when my heart was heavy or full of joy. nutty letters, caring and rejoicing letters. >> so he just had no interest in looking back at his life. he sits in his office and thinko of ideas of fun plans and things to do in the future and who cans he call. >> reporter: his daughter was the author of "my father, my president, the memoir" her

father was too modest to write. in 2006, the uss george h.w. bush was christened. it seems fitting to our 41st president and a way to honor a life of service to his country. dora was designated the ship's sponsor and got to wield the champagne bottle. >> the world's best sponsor. she really is. she put a library in.n. she did put in tapes for the moms and dads to read a child'sm book and then send the tape home so they can hear the voice. so she's been a great sponsor. >> on june 10, 2012, the bush family welcomed the ship to the main coast.. they spent time with the crew and took part in a reenlistment ceremony for 60 sailors. >> they suspect me a picture of the new carrier, cvn 77.

describe as one who is nearing perfection. he has. he's not perfect and no one is, but amazingly, he's as close asn you can get. >> but the trait jeb, the seconu son, admired most in his father is what he sees as his courage. >> my dad, i think exhibitedse that his entire life, startingcr as youngest navy pilot in world ward ii, moving to midland in s business. that took courage, to get out of one's comfort zone, to take the risk of running for office in a minority party back in the early days of the republican party in texas. and then certainly as fundamental he showed a toughness and fortitude that people didn't think he had. he wasn't a politician. when we were growing up, remember, he got involved in politics when he was 40. he was a business guy. he traveled a lot. he wasn't always at home 'cause he was working. but when he was with us, it was. always fun. we always did things. we always went to a baseball a game or played tennis or

outdoors playing catch. fantastic father. p he wasn't a strict disciplinarian. but when weor messed up, his wos of simply saying i'm disappointed in you, was devastating. it was like 1,000 lashes and one month stuck in your room. so his means of child rearing were basically to set an example. >> being an example and setting standards for his children wasn george bush's role. barbara bush dealt with the day-to-day business of raising the family.a >> i'm considered the meanest in the world and -- >> meanest? >> well, toughest. every one of the boys would give a speech, can't wait to needle their mother. like george w. -- they called me, governor and president. and he said, mom, don't watch the news tonight. and i heard this roaring laughter. and so, of course, i said what'h

the matter with jeb? finally gets it out. he said today a little girl asked the president, is it, to important to eat as a family and he said yes. and she said, did you eat as a family? and he said -- >> i did eat with my family, as long as my mother wasn't cooking just kidding, mom! >> that's just an average bushuh joke. right? right. >> in the '88 campaign, i worked full time. it was also personally for me, incredibly gratifying to see the victory when people forget this, but he was down like 15 points in the polls with two months tor go.y, so it shows the extraordinary tenacity and determination of m dad that i think inspired everybody else to work a littlee bit harder. if you look at those four years, they were packed with really incredible events that could have gone in a completelyhe different direction but for my dad's leadership. he has courage to act on hisway

convictions. >> the world said thistion aggression will not stand and it will not stand. >> there is an inner strength that came out when he was president when the world was focused on operation desert storm. the public impression is that my dad is this nice guy and nicee guys can't be tough. that's probably the biggest fallacy. you can be tough and be kind. in fact, being tough in a bravado sense is not toughness. you don't want a president that's always focused on themselves. you want presidents that act on principle and carry it out. and he did. >> as president, i can report to the nation aggression ist, i defeated. the war is over. >> i think more than the accomplishments as president or as a public figure, the fact that my dad has literallyfig thousands of friends, thousands

ofha friends. he has people that will be t undyingly loyal to him. that's an extraordinary legacy if you think about it.eopl not many people can have earned that. >> more of a bushar family album straighti ahead.

>> that's a tough question.i everybody knows he hates broccoli. so thatt doesn't count. >> neil bush, the third born bush boy, is today the head of the points of lights institute. it was started during his th father's presidency to promotehe volunteerism. >> it's hard to talk about my father without talking about his commitment to service. he has an enduring belief in this human quality of giving tod others and he models that foref people in his own life. g he's the most unselfish human being i think you will probably

ever meet. it's amazing how he lifts people not only by his example, but by his actions. he's a very remarkable man. all my life, he has been in political service, but i mean, it was very normal. everyone thinks he'd ride aroune in limos or fly around in airplanes. we really had a very normal life. dad was out there cookingst hamburgers when we were young kids. i think he's just a prettyres average kind of family, but witr exceptional parenting. i've always thought so highly of my dad that it didn't surprise me a when he became president. in fact, ily worked really hardo help him get to be president. we all did. >> while many children of presidents enjoy perks that go along with living in the white house, that was not an option for the bush children. >> mom, in fact, announced in barbara bush fashion and dad supported her that if he were ever elected president, that thn kids wouldn't be allowed to move into the white house. we're independent adults.

our own family lives. so they stuck to that. >> i think when the historians look back at my father's presidency, they're going to see a remarkable pattern of success in everything he did.le p on the domestic side and on the foreign policy side, tearing down of the berlin wall. he dealt with the tianenmen crisisow in china with diplomatc savvy. obviously when saddam hussein attacked kuwait, my father rallied the forces of good and put together an amazing coalition, without aggression, and just exactly the right way.f gave saddam hussein every chance in the world to right his wrong. then when he stopped at thee border, it was the right thing to do. on the domestic side, there wash the issues related to thestic economy and taxation and he the worked a compromise with a congress which turned out to be

his downfall because he made th very famous kind of in politics statement -- >> read my lips. no new taxes. >> it was right at the time. and the economists in reflecting on his actions support what he did to keep the economy going. he signed into law the legislation for the disabilities act. he signed into law the first volunteer service oriented act for the united states. he had some legacy actions,e un domestic and foreign, that will put him at the very high th ranks -- i'm a little biased -- but at the highest red sox of our presidents. i think one of the most important legacies for my own personal selfish perspective is his commitment to volunteerism and to encouraging others to try to do what they can to make the world a better place. >> on july 16, 2013, president

george bush was invited to the white house for aa presentation. for the 5,000th time, thethe points of light institutepres presented their daily award to honor a volunteer organization. president obama took this opportunity to thank theok t institute's founder. >> we are surely a kinder and gentler nation becausese of youl and wey can't thank you enough. >> just like a rock. he just has a steady civility and kindness and givingness ands lovingness. he's never waiverred one iota from that. >> coming up, the bush brother from another mother, president bill clinton, his admiration fol bush 41 is striking. it's next.

her to the bathroom. and introduced my daughter to his mother, who was then stillns living. and made a big impression on m. it's the kind of man he is. he's kind and he treats everybody with genuine respect and he's interested in people that are different from him. >> while the two men did not agree on many issues, president clinton was struck bsuy bush's integrity. >> i liked him because he wasn't an ideologue. he was a conservative, but he was open to argument.dea i think ideologues on the right or left get this country in trouble. he voted for the open housing bill in 1968 in congress toted integrate housing in america.to i thought that showed that he had the character to be open to the facts. and i liked him because i thought he was a very good man and i think that he will go dowe in history for the positive things that he did to improve the security of the united states in his term, the berlin wall fell, which was in part a

reflection of the failure ofail communist and in part a reflection of the success of every american president from harry truman through george bush of just standing up for freedom. >> in 2000, clinton invited the bushes to the white house for a notable occasion. >> we celebrated the 200th anniversary of the white house c in 2000. and i invited all the living i presidents and former first ladies there. amazing night of american history. but it was after the 2000 election and before the supreme court had awarded the election to president bush, his son. so there they were, sitting in the white house. they had to be calm. they had to try to enjoy this. they had to realize the weight of the moment. and yet, they had no idea whether their son was going to be president or not.as they handled it.ed they were amazing.

>> former presidents gather for event on rarees occasions. but bush and clinton have been found together time and again. in 2004 on the day afteraga christmas, an earthquake shook and then a tsunami hit the coast of southeast asia. it was an unprecedented natural disaster. more than 200,000 people weret dead or missing. many areas were destroyed. the two presidents, bill clinton and george bush, showed americans that we are sometimes more united than divided.om this unlikely team raised over a billion dollars in relief funds. >> one of the countries that was hardest hit, maldives, most people didn't know where she was. most people didn't know about sri lanka. they didn't understand which part of india was hit, whatdive happened in thailand, and we really sort of rekindled our bond that existed before thehe election in '92 in a way that wasn't possible in the years when i was president.

i lovedd it.ed we had a great time together. i think we did a lot of good. >> the unusual partnership was tapped again the next year afte> hurricane katrina devastated the gulf coast. ye >> it made people feel good to see not only a republican ande democrat, but two people thatope had run against each other working together. it caused people to relax peo because they realized that you could agree and disagree. we still don't agree on everything. they refer to me as theirwe blacksheep son.n't i'm the one that strayed from the fold. but that's really the way america should work. a before people get out of politics. you know, i like him. i think we just have to keep struggling to find common ground in this country. i can tell you on his part, it was genuine. he cared about the work we did together. the time we spent together. he believes that people who have had the opportunities we've had in life should serve as long as they live and are able.

and i want people to know that o about him. a he isbo a good man. on president clinton believes george bush should be remembered and admired simply for the way he lived his life. >> if every american could have seen him driving that speedboat, not only with daring but with skill,no he became the same man who was the youngest fighter pilot shot out of the air in world war ii when he was only 18. wh 'cause he just get that almost boyish excitement and fire in his eyes and you could seent a that's really the secret to every man and woman's life. you have to have something to look forward to and you have to find joy in the moment and he does. the idea that he's still jumping out of airplanes every five years to mark his birthday, i mean, it's astonishing. so that's what i'd like foris w people to remember about him. the guy's got a lot of juice. he loves life and he's and genuinely good man.y go

>> some people find it astonishing that these two political rivals became such good friends. well, i've interviewed them boti and i know their relationship to be genuine.re as president bush has said, jus because you disagree on something, doesn't mean you you can't work together. that's an attitude that once separated much of americanepa politics when the rest of the world and it is basic to the character of president george. h.w. bush. now we close the bush family album with these final words. >> he was a professional and he was a man with a great heart. he taught me that values matter, that principles should beinci inviolate. >> he's loyal, he's kind. thoughtful. he's funny. >> the example that he set for us, no other greater gift weter could have. >> the final legacy is he's going to be remembered as a president that just had a great

love for people, you know, and his ability to bring out the best in people. >> history is more like an ocean rather than a o stream. so you can't necessarily impactt events. but over time, the cumulative effect of people looking at that period of time, i think my dad will be treated really, really well. orbiting the moon in 1971.
