Event Recap: A Conversation with Jean Becker
06/28/2021

On Thursday, June 24, the Barbara Bush Foundation hosted a conversation with Jean Becker about her new book, The Man I Knew: The Amazing Story of George H. W. Bush’s Post-Presidency.

We are thrilled for Jean, and we were delighted to celebrate her success as a New York Times bestselling author! We couldn’t have asked for more perfect weather, a better setting, or a more entertaining and inspiring discussion. You can purchase her book here.
