Name: Neil Bush
Born: January 22, 1955 Midland, Texas
Neil Mallon Bush (born January 22, 1955 in Midland, Texas) is the fourth of six

Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and the late Robin Bush who died of leukemia in 1953.
He has a younger brother, Marvin, and a younger sister, Dorothy. Neil is a
businessman based in Texas.
Neil Bush was named after a good friend of the family, Henry Neil Mallon,
chairman of Dresser Industries, George H. W. Bush's employer. As a child Bush
spent some summers and holidays at his family's estate in Maine, the Bush
Compound.
At age 11, he entered the exclusive private St. Albans School in Washington, DC.
He struggled through school. A counselor told his mother that it was doubtful
the boy had the potential to graduate. He was later diagnosed as having dyslexia,
and his mother spent much time coaching him through his learning disability.
Eventually his grades improved and he graduated from St. Albans in 1973.
After St. Albans, Bush attended Tulane University, where he earned an economics
degree in 1977. He earned an MBA in 1979.
Neil Mallon Bush is the leftmost person in the front row in this photograph of
the Bush family taken in the early 1960s.
