Copyright 2004 The Memphis Flyer MEMPHIS - Two members of the Air =
National Guard unit that President George W. Bush allegedly served with =
as a young Guard flyer in 1972 had been told to expect him and were on =
the lookout for him. He never showed, however; of that both Bob Mintz =
and Paul Bishop are certain.=20
The question of Bush's presence in 1972 at Dannelly Air National =
Guard base in Montgomery, Alabama - or the lack of it - has become an =
issue in the 2004 presidential campaign.=20
Recalls Memphian Mintz, now 62: "I remember that I heard someone =
was coming to drill with us from Texas. And it was implied that it was =
somebody with political influence. I was a young bachelor then. I was =
looking for somebody to prowl around with." But, says Mintz, that =
"somebody" -- better known to the world now as the president of the =
United States -- never showed up at Dannelly in 1972. Nor in 1973, nor =
at any time that Mintz, a FedEx pilot now and an Eastern Airlines pilot =
then, when he was a reserve first lieutenant at Dannelly, can remember.=20
