Bush bash: Former US president celebrates 90th birthday with family, friends

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine – Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush is celebrating his 90th birthday.

A guest list for a private dinner in his honour Thursday includes more than 200 relatives and friends, a family spokesman said.

His children, including former President George W. Bush and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, will be there, spokesman Jim McGrath said.

During his presidential years, Bush was known for jogging, tennis and fast-paced golf but now uses a wheelchair because of a form of parkinsonism.

He marked his 75th, 80th and 85th birthdays by skydiving.
