Neil Bush came to Colorado to get rich in the oil business, but his company, JNB Exploration, never found any oil and was sold in 1989. The family has been involved with politics for generations. Dyslexic as a child, Bush practiced reading exercises until he was able to overcome his problem, his brother George recalled. His poise in the spotlight led to suggestions of a political future for him, but now angry at the attention he's receiving over his role in the collapse of the Silverado S&L and at "government mismanagement" in selling off troubled savings institutions. He and his wife Sharon and their three children recently moved to a wealthier neighborhood for privacy.
