They won't miss me

All five living presidents and their wives will attend the dedication of the George W. Bush Library and Museum on the SMU campus in Dallas Thursday, April 25. Nancy Reagan will be unable to attend but this will be the largest group of notable officials at any event  since Ronald Reagan's funeral.

The media has been invited to attend the ceremony and tour the library and museum which, with other material, gives a chronological history of  Bush's eight years as president.The library and museum will open to the public in May and once open the facility is expected to attract 400,000 visitors a year.


Safety will be a concern with so many government officials and former officials in one place, but extra security will be provided.

Several days ago I received an invitation to attend the dedication Thursday (seriously) along with a picture -- probably a copy of a painting -- of the front of the facility.  I appreciate  the invitation but will not attend.
