TIME MACHINE: 1959 DISTRESS FOR LOWER SHORE BUT OPENING FOR A FUTURE GAIN.

(Reader-friendly viewing of news archives/historical archives material)

January, 1959

















As a young Navy pilot former President George H.W. Bush was stationed at  the Chincoteague base for a few months in 1943.  As reported in various published accounts he flew low over an area of Crisfield where a circus had setup nearby and a frightened elephant broke away, in turn frightening nearby residents.  Reports were that Bush's low fly-over was an attempt to impress a young Crisfield woman he had met at a USO dance at Chincoteague.
