George H.W. Bush
“ If I were sitting with Father Ted Hesburgh today, I’d simply say, ‘Thank you, sir, for your service to our country, for your commitment to the Lord’s work, for your commitment to world peace.’
And then if I could get up my nerve, I’d say, ‘You’re a good man, Father Ted, and I’ve learned a lot from you.’”
George H.W. Bush
41st President of the United States of America
" You’re a good man, Father Ted, and I’ve learned a lot from you."
