Wolfshohl saidt zatton raised $4,000 Iasi by Will Uoy<A Couple Continued from page 1A main reason the Baumanns were selected was their combined 83 years of teaching experience. “Their daughter is very involved, which made them very involved as well,” Whitehead said. The Baumanns hosted three Fish Camps and several retreats for Hospitality at their ranch near Cause. Eugene said the close proximity of Cause and College Station, along with the genuinely caring atmosphere he and his wife provide for students of all ages are. more than likely, big reasons why they won the award. Janice Kerlee said there many perks for the Parents of the Year. Janice and her husband Timothy were Parents of the Year for 2003 04. “Handing out Aggie rings was the highlight,” Kerlee said. “Just a chance to he with Aggies more often is a wonderful honor.” Anna Palm, a senior communication major and member of the selection committee for Parents of the Year, said she was excited to be part of the committee that selected her parents as Parents of the Year in 1997-98. The selection process begins in March when students nominate parents for the award, Whitehead said. There is an application that has to be completed along with three letters of recom mendation. The selection committee consists of 45 students who narrow the field down to two couples for the Parents* Weekend awards ceremony. Whitehead said that of the two couples, the Baumanns definitely had the majority of the vote. Eugene said he felt undeserving of the award. “I have no idea what was on the other parents’ resumes,” Eugene said. “I feel that cooking meals and having our house open to students w-as not qualifying enough to win the award.” by collecting spare Palmer said the represents all the happen to an Aggie in years of college, ami 41 blessed to finally bee® “I broke down like i! and just cried,” Palmerii felt so blessed; itwasai ing fromGodiswtai!

Even though the exhibit is only open until September, some items may become permanently displayed in the established exhibits of the museum, Burchfield said. “We may plan to incorporate some of the things on display in the Barbara Bush exhibit into exhibits of the museum in the future,” Burchfield said. The Bush Library and Museum is open Monday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $5 for adults and free for Blinn and A&M students with student ID cards.
