March 28 - March 30, 2013

We are in College Station, TX, home of Texas A&M University, which is home to The George H.W. Bush museum. I have always been interested in presidential history. On our various trips we have visited a number of museums dedicated to our presidents as well as the presidential libraries.

George H W Bush Presidential Library, College Station, TX

The presidential libraries are a relatively recent phenomenon They are administered by the National Archives. John Adams' is administered by the National Park Service since it is part of his home and Lincoln's is administered by the State of Illinois. Other than those, all of the achives-administered libraries are from Twentieth and Twenty-first century presidents. We are making it a point to visit as many of these museums as possible. All three of the libraries that are located in Texas are on our "to-do" list for this trip.

Like the other libraries that we have previously visited, Bush-41's library is excellent. It does a wonderful job of making the man and his life interesting and accessible. I particularly enjoyed the exhibits about his childhood and college days while Rick enjoyed the part about his experiences as an aviator during WWII.

   Here I am giving the President a piece of my mind about the mess he got us into with Desert Storm.
