George W. Bush Institute's "Natural Gas Nation Energy" Conference – Words cannot describe what a thrill and honor it was to represent Oklahoma at the Natural Gas Nation conference. Along with Randy Foutch from Laredo Petroleum, I represented Oklahoma at the conference. Mom travelled with me to Dallas where we had a fabulous dinner Wednesday evening with special guests President George W. Bush and Laura Bush along with special speaker, Henry Paulson, at the beautiful Hunt building.
A small group of around 100 attended the dinner, so Mom and I had the chance to visit with both the President and Mrs. Bush. Each of them told us that they love Dallas, do not miss Washington and have been busier than they imagined with Mrs. Bush herself appearing or speaking at over 250 events last year. The conference the next day at the campus of Southern Methodist University was kicked off by Jim Glassman, executive director of the Bush Institute and President George W. Bush himself. The conference was a virtual Who's Who in the industry, policymaker and academia energy circles, so I felt most fortunate to be part of such an outstanding group. The President and Mrs. Bush also attended the lunch at the conference and what an experience it was to have several opportunities to mingle and visit with them over the course of a couple of days. For me, it was a very special experience that I will never forget!
