The following article exerpt is one I saved from the Midland, Texas newspaper . Presidential House in Midland would honor Bush family By Ed Todd Staff Writer If Texas Gov. George W. Bush is elected the 43rd president of the United States in 2000, Midland would have a double cause for a Presidential House -- or houses. Midland did play a role in the 1950s in shaping his father, George H.W. Bush, who in 1989 became the 41st president of the United States after serving two terms as vice president under Republican President Ronald Reagan. George W. Bush, the 54-year-old first-born of the senior Bush, 76, and his wife, former First Lady Barbara Bush, was elected Texas governor in 1994 and again in 1998. By 1950, the then-preschool age younger Bush, who was born in New Haven, Connecticut, on July 6, 1946, was in Midland, Texas, with his sister Robin and their parents. Their enterprising father was delving into the petroleum business. George W. Bush spent his early school years in Midland. And, after earning degrees from Yale University in 1968 and Harvard University in 1975, he returned to Midland later in the 1970s to explore the oil business. He was married to Midland native Laura Welch in 1977. By the late 1980s, he was out of Midland and in the Dallas area where he and his business partners in 1989 purchased the Texas Rangers baseball club from Eddie Chiles, also a former Midlander. From his Midland childhood when Bush played Little League baseball and forward, Bush was an avid baseball fan. Now, could there be more than one Bush Presidential House in Midland? George W., the oldest of six Bush children, including the family's beloved daughter Robin, who died at almost age 4 of leukemia in 1953, had lived in those three houses: n 405 E. Maple Ave., an 840-square-foot frame house along a series of 1950-built houses named "Easter Egg Row" due to the pastel colors of the post-war houses. The Bush family lived there in 1950 and 1951. n 1412 W. Ohio Ave., a 1,492-square-foot house, now of a gentle rose hue and a prominent bay window. The Bush family lived there until at least 1955. n 2703 Sentinel Drive, a 3,000-square-foot brick house which Bush, faring well in the oil business in the wake of the Spraberry oilfield boom, had built in 1955 for his growing family. George W. Bush, the governor and would-be president, lived in those houses and attended Sam Houston Elementary School, where he would become a "Houston Hero" during his governorship, and San Jacinto Junior High School. Midland's George H.W. Bush Elementary School was dedicated in honor of his father, the president. Following his higher education at Yale and Harvard and his role as a Texas Air National Guard fighter pilot in the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger, the younger Bush returned to Midland, home of his childhood buddies, such as Joseph I. "Joey" O'Neill III and Dr. Charles Younger, later in the 1970s when Midland was on the threshold of another oil boom.
