"Laura and I are saddened by the death of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said al Said, the Sultan of Oman. He was a stable force in the Middle East and a strong U.S. ally." Full statement by President George W. Bush on the Sultan of Oman: https://t.co/mEBXEGNXyk

This would be a big loss at anytime, but especially -given events in the region - right now.

My thoughts this evening are with all of #Oman. His Majesty #Sultan_Qaboos Bin Said led his people for half a century with dignity, compassion and vision that is unparalleled. May God Bless His Soul.

In Krakow, one of Europe’s prettiest cities. Having visited Poland on my own many times over the years, I finally got to bring my family to see this beautiful country.

In sunny London to see my daughter graduate from college. A bonus: my first visit to The Royal Air Force’s Duxford museum, courtesy of my English cousin. Here, a Handley Page Victor being restored.
