Dallas private Bush* fundraiser attendee list -- just regular folks!

[jburton]

Found this gem hidden in the entertainment section of the Dallas Morning News. It's basically a who's who of Dalla$$$.

Two names of note -- Trammell Crow is one of the major donors to the "SwiftBoat" group. Norman Brinker is quoted all the time by local media as a "local CEO" and always has nothing but happy things to say about the economy.

The long and winding road that leads to the Preston Hollow doorstep of software entrepreneur Larry Lacerte and his wife, Joyce, has had its share of august visitors, but none so august as last week's drop-in from the commander-in-chief, President George W. Bush.

--snip--

For those who've never seen the Lacerte estate, it looks like what God would build if he had the money. There's the indoor pool, the bowling alley, the racquetball court and 50 telephone lines. (A very civilized fellow, Larry finds call waiting rude.) The baseball diamond – complete with a scoreboard and lights for night games – was the site of a large air-conditioned tent where most of the guests waited for the president. Inside the house, there was a private reception.

--snip--

Among those on hand to greet President Bush were Margaret Crow, wife of developer Trammell Crow; billionaire financier Harold Simmons and his wife, Annette (who flew in from their summer home in Montecito, Calif.); Blue Bell ice cream executive John Barnhill and his wife, Jane; nonagenarian oilman Frank Pitts and his daughter, Linda Custard; Omni Hotels' billionaire owner Bob Rowling and his wife, Terry; developer Vance Miller and his wife, Tincy; residential real estate doyenne Ebby Halliday Acers; and restaurant entrepreneur Norman Brinker and his wife, Toni.

Political allies of the president on hand included Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and U.S. Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Dallas.
