Warren the exhibit you are about to see, we started putting together shortly after the president died. The people in Bryan College station were really invested in it, the train came up here from houston. They were proud of the fact that the president and the first lady were buried here. A lot of that was incorporated into the exhibit. One of the first things you see is the lifesized statue of sully, president bushs service dog. At a ceremony a couple of months ago, we installed sully, and the reallife sully came to the ceremony. That dog is now at walter reed. The real iconic photo in the exhibit is of sully in front of president bushs casket.
