Presidential Production

For more than 15 years, TPT's Jim Zura has worked on television productions featuring both Presidents Bush.  Here's some production shots with #41. Click on the link below for scenes from Crawford (home of the "Western White House").

Last minute prep

"I"ve always found President Bush #41 to be a most gracious person to work with.  On one occasion, while taking down my equipment, we were chit-chatting, and I mentioned that it was my mother's birthday.  He reached into his drawer and gave me a jewel box with a Presidential Seal Ladies' Hat Pin.  'Give this to your mom for me, and tell her I wish her a happy birthday.'  You can imagine how elated my mom was that evening!"
