A Presidential Tale of Friendship, Travel, and the Great Outdoors!

 I Call Him “Mr. President” by Ken Raynor and Michael Patrick Shiels tells the story of how President George H.W. Bush befriended the author, Ken Raynor, head professional at Cape Arundel Golf Club in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Raynor’s personal relationship with Bush led him to experience everything from fishing trips to the wilds of Newfoundland to countless outings on the golf course, including Bush’s last as commander in chief.  Raynor assisted Bush, a WWII veteran, in welcoming world leaders, former presidents, celebrities, and PGA Tour stars to quaint Cape Arundel Golf Club and saw the excitement through during their eyes during the outings.

In this book, Raynor reflects on the life lessons he gained from a friendship born outdoors that has continued to develop over decades, during golf outings that have ranged from Maine to Augusta National to the White House putting green, international fishing trips, retreats at Camp David, flying in Marine One, and many other unforgettable experiences. He resides with his wife Anne in Kennebunkport as well as Boca Grande, Florida.

 Co-author Michael Patrick Shiels is a member of the Society of American Travel Writers, was an advance volunteer for Bush’s two presidential campaigns and serves on the committee for the George H. W. Bush Celebrity Golf fundraiser in Kennebunkport. He resides in Michigan, where he hosts an award-winning syndicated morning radio program.
