>>14666610Forgot to mention that William Howard Taft was a member of Skull and Bones himself. Between George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and William Howard Taft, we have had three presidents that have been members. Prescott Bush, George H. W. Bush's father, was also a member.
"Our 27th, and fattest (fun fact), President was known to his college buddies as "Big Lub," and was the first "Bonesman" ever to reach The Oval Office.
Frankly, young Mr. Taft would probably had a rather easy time getting into the club...
His father, and one-time Attorney General, Alphonso Taft, co-founded Skull and Bones as a Yale student in 1832."

The second ever Bonesman to be elected President, "41" was also a fighter pilot in WWII, Ambassador to "Red China" and Director of the CIA.
His training at Skull and Bones must have been invaluable in the career he made out of keeping safe the secrets of state."

"W" was a man who's family was synonymous with Skull and Bones by the time he arrived on Yale's campus as a Freshman, but it has been whispered that many thought his family would agree to his not being "Tapped" as George was a rather... "distractable" young man.
But after joining up with the family club, joining the cheerleading team and generally raising hell, "W" ended up as the third Bonesman to occupy the office of the President."

If you thought "Dubya" was a wild man in his college years, you should have met his grand-daddy.
