Honor roll

TO: Mr. Frederick D. McClure
CEO, George Bush Presidential Library Foundation

Mr. McClure:

(Mrs. R), my 87-year-old mother-in-law, recently received a letter purportedly from the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation stating she has been “nominated for the George Bush Leadership Honor Roll at the George Bush Presidential Library Center,” with approval of listing dependant upon completion of an authorization form and “a generous tax-deductable contribution.”

Might I inquire how Mrs. R came to be nominated for the Leadership Honor Roll?

Also, I find it strange that the library would ask for money from a woman who presently resides at an assisted living facility, because of diagnosed Alzheimer’s, and who receives less than $1,500 monthly from Social Security and less than $300 monthly from Texas Teacher Retirement System.

Sincerely,
Robert Merriman
