Bubba reunited with Bill Clinton

When Bill Clinton held a Ugandan newborn in his arms during a trip to East Africa in 1998, the mother decided to name him after the president.

Now 14 and hoping to become a surgeon, Bill Clinton Kaligani — who considers the ex-president his “dad” — was overjoyed when he was reunited with his namesake.

...

It was his first visit to Uganda since March 24, 1998, when he toured the village of Wanyange and met Betty Namugosa, who had just given birth to her fourth child.

“I decided to call him Bill, and if it was a girl, I would have named her Hillary,” she said.Namugosa exchanged letters with Clinton after but eventually lost contact, she said.
