Before leaving office former President Bush, as does all Presidents, handed out a few pardons.

Bush limited his pardons, for the most part, to cleansing the records of those who long ago had served their sentences.

Among his pardons was a Jehovah's Witness minister convicted in 1957 for not reporting for the military draft, a man convicted in 1969 of stealing $32 worth of 8-track tapes, a postal employee convicted of stealing $11 from the mail.

Charles McKinley, was pardoned in Bush's first term at the age of 75. McKinley served a two-year sentence in 1950 for Tennessee moonshining. Mr. McKinley lived to see his record expunged - Charlie Winters received a posthumous pardon for transporting B-17 bombers to Israel-- illegal at the time -- during the War of Independence in 1948.
