Jean joined a panel, along with a distinguished group of experts who worked closely with both President Bush Senior and Junior as well as the first ladies, after screening of CNN’s six-part original series that examines the Bush family and their impact on Amercian political history at the U.S. Navy Memorial Burke Theater in Washington, DC.
