jean becker is the former president's chief of staff. she is the anchor to winward of bush world as the 41st president would say. jean was a reporter from "usa today." she went into the white house, i think, initially to write speeches for mrs. bush, barbara bush. and then moved over to work for the president. i believe she's been chief of staff since 1997 or '98. certainly in that period. and the most remark -- one of the most remarkable acknowledgements i ever read in a book was she really put together a unique contribution in presidential literature which is president bush's book "all the best" which if people don't have it, that's the book to get. it's president bush writing letters from andover through his postpresidency. he was -- st. paul couldn't write letters the way this guy could. they're funny and human and touching and they fill you with joy when you read them. you'll cry. i warn you now. >> they've love bombs. now knowing about how many he wrote, he usually probably sat down and wrote ten at a time. you felt like the most i

his wonderful aide, jean becker, who has been with him so long, said to him, well, you know, your landingo well the last time. he said, why emphasize that? but what a special person. what a patriot. what a person of service to this country. and of just -- incredible decency. >> you worked for his son? >> i did. i did work for his son. i worked for lloyd bentsen who beat him in 18970 -- 1970 when he ran for the senate raccest pridt in texas in that time. i think that is the common word you hear in this. decency. he was a decent person. he was a good person. he was a kind person. to me, he's almost like the forrest gump of the last 50 years of this century. he was almost at every single moment of change in the country. the soviet union. world war ii. the cia. the u.n. the wars. his son which he had a tremendous impact on. one thing i would like to say is i think often in these times when we have these deaths, we're way too quick to canonize these people. george herbert walker bush was a great man. he did great things. but he also had flaws. he was human. he made mistakes. he was humble enou
