You never know what you will find!

This morning I was making a disc of custom work and I came across this Birthday pillow marking President George Bush's 80Th birthday......he jumped out of a plane....I am sure I was told all the particulars of the order at the time and the meaning...but like so many custom pieces I have done..who knows...I looked up the 41st President and ...now I get it...He was a Naval Aviator during WW II...and during one terrible time had to bail out of his plane with another , saving both their lives....very cool. He was also at 18 one of the youngest Naval Aviators on record at the time...interesting...anyway.....this helps me know what the custom piece was about...celebrating a part of his life that was special........you learn something every day...
