We live at the beach and see these birds everyday

How about your name? I was proud to vote for you in 1972 after returning home from the Army, but I thought you were dead.

8. You gotta good given name. Given your love of surfing are you a Beach Boys, Jan and Dean fan?

11. Favorite songs

Jan & Dean:

Surf city
Little Old lady

Beach boys
I Get Around
Catch a Wave
Sloop John B

How did you become George McGovern?

[George McGovern]

12. Same songs. I can imagine "round round I get around" sung by the Little Old Lady from Pasadena.

I chose George McGovern for my username because I voted wholeheartedly for him for president. Broke my heart when he lost. I consider Mr. McGovern the greatest president who never was. Broke my heart too when John Fitzgerald was murdered. He was the greatest.

Thanks for asking.

This awesome surf song was released in May 1963 and two months later it became the first surf song to reach number one on national record charts, remaining at the top of Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks.. This song was actually written by Brian Wilson of The Beach boys and Jan Berry of Jan & Dean.

5. Thank you, dear George, for this wonderful photo that Andy took.

We spent several days in Galveston; it's a beautiful little island town on the edge of the Gulf of Mexico. Houses on stilts tell the stories of devastating floods.

6. You're most welcome Peggy.
