BUSH LIBRARY=MANY, MANY PARTIES

Oh, we all knew it was coming. And all the Realtors keep hunting for the house George and Laura are allegedly building in Highland Park. This has been on our brother blog, and I could have scooped them earlier since my daughter goes to SMU Law–was out and about–but heck, here is the message from Gerald Turner:

TO: SMU Students, Faculty and Staff

FROM: R. Gerald Turner, President

It is my pleasure to inform you that Don Evans, Chairman of the George W. Bush Presidential Library Search Committee, notified us that SMU has been selected by the Committee for the next phase of planning discussions. These discussions will begin after the first of the year.

We do not know how long these discussions will take. However, any significant announcement concerning the process will come from Chairman Evans.

Today at 2:30 pm SMU is hosting a press availability to which Trustees and the campus community are invited. The press availability will be held in the Hughes-Trigg Ballroom.

We are obviously delighted to have reached this final stage of the selection process.
