"KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine (AP) — Former President George H.W. Bush plans to celebrate his 85th birthday Friday by making a parachute jump in Maine, where he has his summer home.

Aide Jim Appleby said Tuesday that Bush will make a tandem jump with a member of the U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute team onto a landing zone near St. Ann's by the Sea Church in Kennebunkport."

By All means We Wish You A Happy Landing, Sir!

Now That's A Legacy To Be Proud Of!
