Rod Bush's Home Page

I am Rod Bush (rodbush@earthlink.net), born in  MS, raised in Southern CA and educated at San Dieguito U.H.S. and UCLA. I married Mary, born and raised in Southern CA and educated at Cypress College, Cal State Fullerton and UCLA. Our Children are Jim Bush of Hawaii; Kathy Bush Cherney of Moreno Valley , CA; Steve Bush of Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Long Beach, Mission Viejo, CA and Family Compass, Inc.; Tom Bush, a Computer Science grad of UCLA; and John Bush, a UCSB Zoology/ Ecology grad.

I have retired early since layoff from Boeing's Reusable Space Systems Division in Huntington Beach, CA, but now volunteer part-time for the marvelous Aquarium of the Pacific. I attend Long Beach Los Altos United Methodist Church and enjoy my hobbies: Genealogy,  Finding New Links,  PILGRIM-L, Computers, Resources for Writers, Attending Lectures, and participating in the LAUMC Commission on Religion  & Race, Women's Issues, Children & Violence Resources, Health Resources & Support Groups, Human Sexuality Issues, Sons of the American Revolution, publishing my Gleanings.

* Note: in the 1990 Census, BUSH was the 304th most common name in the US, with almost one in every thousand persons with that surname. So, NO,  I AM NOT RELATED to G.W. BUSH!

I also enjoy occasional VU Classes forming small groups ac writing letters to friends and relatives.   In my leisure time, I read The Los Angeles Times, the NY Times, or other world news resources for the latest news, or watch the Discovery Channel, Animal Planet  and the History Channel.  I have other interests in Aboriginal Rights , reading Dr. Larsen's book, finding good Web References, Seeking Truth, working with Small Groups, remembering Jester Hairston, supporting  Independent and Assisted Living and occasionally statusing the Open Directory Project.

Mary is battling Fibromyalgia and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome , but on good days enjoys music, singing, gardening,  P.E.O, growing house plants, or  Sewing and Other Hobbies.
