HOUSTON (WBAP/KLIF News) – It’s being called the end of an era.
Less than a year after the death of former President George H.W. Bush, his office in Houston will close for the last time on Friday at 5 p.m.
In a statement issued Monday, Bush Chief of Staff Jean Becker said the office’s closure doesn’t mean an end to work on the family’s legacy.
“As one era ends, a new one is beginning,” he said.
Becker said the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation will be named the George and Barbara Bush Foundation.
It will be affiliated with the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library Center and the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A & M University along with the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation and The Points of Light Organization.
The 41st President died last November at the age of 94. He served as president served from 1989 to 1993 and saw his son George W. Bush become the 43rd president eight years later.
His wife Barbara passed away last April at the age of 92.
