True or False?
Before George H.W. Bush became the 41st U.S. president, he worked as a spy.

False!
George wasn't a spy, but he did serve as head of the Central Intelligence Agency. That group finds out about activities in other countries. Sometimes it uses spies. During World War II, his fighter plane was shot down over the ocean. He is one of the only presidents whose son also became president. Before becoming president, he owned an oil business, served as a congressman, and worked in the United Nations.
