Abbott Fuller Graves and other
Kennebunkport artists.
“One of the paintings on display
by Robert Payne is usually hanging
in the Bush’s kitchen at their home
in Houston,” he said. “The entire
exhibit is very personal to the Bush
family.”
The history section of the ex
hibit has artifacts dating back to
the 17th century. One of the arti
facts on display is a Bible owned by
the Baxters, a prominent family in
Kennebunkport.
“The Bible was taken by the In
dians who took Mrs. Baxter captive
and killed her in the woods,” he
said. “The Bible was found the
next spring after the snow melted
in the woods, and it now is one of
the Baxter family’s most treasured
possessions.”
The final section of the exhibit
showcases Bush family vacations
at Kennebunkport. Among the
photos displayed are a picture of
George Bush napping on a ham
mock and a photo of Bush and his
daughter wearing fish-shaped hats.
David Alsobrook, director of the
Bush Presidential Library and Mu
seum, said the exhibit focuses on
an important aspect of Bush’s life.
“George Bush’s mother was
born at Kennebunkport in 1901,”
he said. “He spent all of his sum
mers there, with the exception of
when he was serving in World War
II.”

“The system and the office of the
presidency is resilient, and the
trouble of history will give way to
better times.”

Aggie Hostels recruiting
BY SALLIE TURNER
The Battalion
Aggie Hostel, an educational
program for former students age
65 and older, is accepting applica
tions for student hosts for the 12th
annual conference to be held June
13 through 18.
Mary Anne Symms, Aggie Hos
tel student assistant and a senior
nutritional sciences major, said
Aggie Hostel is a week-long event
where 80 former students, called
hostelers, return to campus and
relive their days as students. Dur
ing the week, the former students
stay in the dorms, attend classes
and participate in evening social
events.
“At night, [the former stu
dents] have fun activities like a
hoedown at Shadow Canyon,
Ring Dance and graduation cer
emonies,” she said.
Each year, 20 students are se
lected as hosts for the conference.
The hosts are paired together and
assigned to groups of four former
students and their wives. The
hosts participate in most of the
conference activities with the
groups.
Dusty Batsell, a student host
last year and a junior construction
science major, said participating
in the activities with the former
students helped him understand
what it means to be an Aggie.
Symms said applications for
student hosts are available in the
Student Programs Office, Student
Activities in the Koldus building.
Multicultural Services and the As
sociation of Former Students. The
applications are due Friday at 5
p.m. in the Clayton Williams
Alumni Center.
