This LSU Tiger visited the Bush library in October and it is top, top notch. Pure class just like the man. Today's ceremony at A&M was dignified and fitting for a true American hero. Well done Aggies!
And from what I have read, George Bush has a lot of Aggie friends. He has a lot in common with the university, not the least of which is their military connection. Finally, it is close to his home in Houston so he could get there and back easily. The affection between the university and the president continued to grow. It's the perfect place for him.
When Bush was deciding where to put his presidential library, a couple of his Houston friends were prominent Aggies and made the initial pitch. He identified with the values of the school. Probably didn't hurt that he got 94% of the vote from the campus box in the '88 election.
The Bush family actually has an apartment at the school, so 41 would usually come up and spend the night if he had a function at the school, or even just wanted to go to a game. He was a regular at A&M football and baseball. I once was heading into the Rec center a few hours before a football game and out comes 41 in his workout clothes, with his Secret Service detail. Besides staying fit, I think he liked checking out the coeds in their workout gear.

Why does this whole deal bother you so much?
Some of the Bushes attended UTex.
41 chose Texas A&M University—which has zero bearing on your life.
I don’t understand your response.

He absolutely can't stand the positive press A&M is getting.

Shot down while making a bombing run on Chichi Jima. He was fortunate, as the other airmen shot down on that mission were captured, beaten, tortured, executed and then partially eaten by Japanese officers.
You probably end up reflecting on why you alone survived a mission that went down that way as the years go by.
