GEORGE W. BUSH CAMPAIGNS FOR HIS DAD FOR U. S. SENATOR, 1970 -- PHOTO TAKEN BY RON WADE
George W. Bush inscribed this photo to Ron Wade "Dear Ron, the start of my political career--Thanks for the friendship, George W. Bush". Wade drove Bush in this October, 1970 parade in Gilmer, Texas. Wade, then 17, had been unable to get a convertible for the parade to feature the son of the candidate--all convertibles had been taken up by parade princesses. Bush had to ride precariously in his El Camino as Wade drove carefully. Bush explained that this was perhaps the first event he participated in politically on behalf of his father. George W. was in the Texas Air National Guard at this time -- this was a Saturday parade.
