Especially the part about your Grandfather getting even.

Regarding the Bush family: Bush is a good name. The great DUer Old and In the Way described how many of the family who live in Maine can't stand that George H.W. Bush and his offspring are their relations.

I know a good man by the name of Bush -- a police officer, almost lost his life in the line of duty. A young man with a rifle went crazy and wanted to "suicide by cop" and showed up at a local shopping center. He aimed at the first officer on the scene. Sgt. Bush showed up a few seconds later and drove his cruiser between the gunman and the cornered cop. The kid fired, the shotgun slug going through the windshield and hitting Sgt. Bush. The slug destroyed his eye and lodged in his brain. We thought we would lose him, but the emergency crews pulled him through.
