Bush '48 descends on Mory's
For former president and Yale baseball captain, residential college confusion
Posted Saturday Dec. 15 George H. W. Bush ’48 retired from politics 14 years ago, but he still knows how to work a room.
On Friday evening in New Haven, after all, nearly 200 guests crowding Mory’s jockeyed for the chance to shake the 83-year-old elder statesman’s hand. The black-tie-optional soirée, with a $100 suggested donation, honored the 41st president, who had been chosen to receive the 2008 Mory’s Cup, awarded annually to “the individual judged to have been of conspicuous service to Yale,” in the words of Mory’s manager James Shumway.
“I don’t even really...
This is hilarious. Thanks!
Haha, I love how that picture shows him in front of TOADS...
Guests said they were impressed by Bush’s charisma and lucidity. John Lapides ’72 said he was one of the first people to shake Bush’s hand, and when they passed again later, Bush recognized him. “I already met you,” Bush remembered.
Thanks for letting us know he ain't senile.
41 actually looks like he's coming out of Toad's after last call.
Where's the Toad's picture?
maybe the YDN finally found some respect for the former president...
So whos' the NINNY who neglected to inform former President Bush this was a fund raiser in his honor !!!!!!!!!!!!
That headline made me laugh. Thank you.
