The George H.W. Bush Presidential Library & Museum and the George & Barbara Bush Foundation have lined up a run of public events on the Texas A&M campus, starting with a racing car parked outside the library on Friday and ending next month with an award for the former president's own vice president.
Tribute car on Friday
The No. 41 George H.W. Bush tribute car will be on display outside the Bush Library & Museum on Friday, Nov. 13, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to the foundation's event page.
Replicas of the car can be pre-ordered through the Museum Store, and part of the money goes to the President George H.W. Bush Memorial Scholarship, the foundation said. The store notes the replicas are set to ship on or before Aug. 27, 2027.
Award for Dan Quayle on Dec. 8
The foundation will present the George H.W. Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service to Dan Quayle, who served as the 44th vice president under Bush from 1989 to 1993. The evening event is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 8, at the Annenberg Presidential Conference Center, 1002 George Bush Drive West. The foundation has posted a registration link but has not listed a start time.
KBTX reported that the award recognizes public service at the local, state, national and international levels and that registration is free through trellis.org/dan-quayle.
Before becoming vice president, Quayle was elected to the U.S. House from Indiana in 1976 and to the U.S. Senate in 1980, according to his foundation biography. He is now chairman of Cerberus Global Investments.
