HOUSTON — Former President Bush will celebrate his 75th birthday by making a parachute jump on to the grounds of his presidential library at Texas A&M; University, a Bush spokesman said Tuesday.
The jump is set for June 9 in College Station, Texas, said spokesman Michael Dannenhauer.
It will be Bush’s third parachute jump and supposedly his last. Dannenhauer said former First Lady Barbara Bush has put her foot down and forbidden any more.
Bush’s birthday is June 12 and his wife turns 74 on June 8.
