Ex-Bush Aide Expected To Be Appointed To Texas High Court

Congratulations to Don R. Willett, an old friend from my undergraduate days at Baylor University (when he was known as "Donny"), on his appointment today to the Texas Supreme Court. He will be filling the seat vacated by Judge Priscilla Owen who was recently confirmed to the United States Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit.

Donny and I were in the Baylor Chamber of Commerce together way back when. Serving with us in the Chamber in those days was former Oklahoma Congressman (and unsuccessful candidate for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Don Nickles) Brad Carson.

I can't say that being elected Mayor of Columbia, Virginia makes me quite as successful as those two guys have been.

Once again, congratulations Donny! CJ!
