Meg Laughlin of Knight Ridder has written an important article about Bush's time at Project P.U.L.L. in 1973 - while Bush was AWOL from the National Guard. Laughlin's article offers important evidence that Bush's work with P.U.L.L. was indeed community service, as J.H. Hatfield argued in "Fortunate Son" - the biography that led to Hatfield's suicide (hornsandhalos.com). "George had to sign in and out - I remember his signature was a hurried cursive - but he wasn't an employee. He was not a volunteer either,"
said. "John said he had to keep track of George's hours because George had to put in a lot of hours because he was in trouble." "John didn't say what kind of trouble 43 was in - just that he had done something and he (John) made a deal to take him in as a favor to 41 to get some funding," Maura said. If Bush was indeed performing community service, what crime had he committed? Was it a DUI - or worse? The latest blog at bobfertik.com...

"I was working full time for an inner-city poverty program known as Project P.U.L.L.," Bush said in his 1999 autobiography, "A Charge to Keep." "My friend John White ... asked me to come help him run the program. ... I was intrigued by John's offer. ... Now I had a chance to help people."
But White's administrative assistant and others associated with P.U.L.L., speaking on the record for the first time, say Bush was not helping to run the program and White had not asked Bush to come aboard. Instead, the associates said, White told them he agreed to take Bush on as a favor to Bush's father, who was honorary co-chairman of the program at the time, and Bush was unpaid. They say White told them Bush had gotten into some kind of trouble but White never gave them specifics.

"John said he was doing a favor for George's father because an arrangement had to be made for the son to be there," said Willie Frazier, also a former player for the Houston Oilers and a P.U.L.L. summer volunteer in 1973.
