Former First Lady and Preston Hollow neighbor Laura Bush gave a beautiful question-and-answer story to The Dallas Morning News. She spoke about her love of conservation, which inspired her at the Bush Center. “My mother really was the one who inspired me to be a conservationist. She was my Girl Scout leader when we got our bird badge. She became a very knowledgeable, self-taught bird-watcher and joined the MidNats, the Midland Naturalists, who were all bird-watchers and conservationists,” she said.
