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.”

Menarchik said Bush had a hand in what went into
the exhibit.
“She was very helpful in the design and structure of
the exhibit, and it displays her elegance over her life
time,” Menarchik said.
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.

Wednesday with former presidents addressing
mass rallies of Greek Cypriots and police on
the Turkish side of the island arresting 47 sus

World officials stepped into the campaign as
