The Forum includes former Michigan Governor and U.S. Ambassador Jim Blanchard. The Ambassador introduced speakers and helped to moderate the panel featuring Warren Everson, Canadian Chamber of Commerce vice president, and Karen Phillips, CN Railways vice president. Watch video from the Forum Secret Service Agents Break Their Silence: Kennedy Detail Authors Silence Crowd with Stories and Memories U.S. Secret Service Agent Jerry Blaine, author of the newly published book "The Kennedy Detail," spoke of the healing effect that agents had when they finally broke their silence, some with tears, to share their memories with him. He and co-author journalist and long-time friend Lisa McCubbin were at MSU under IPPSR's sponsorship. They were joined by retired Agent Clint Hill, who bolted onfoot from following the president's car to throwing himself onto the vehicle. He would, in the sad days to follow, guard First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy while guiding her through the transition. Those who attended the lecture and later book signing at Schuler Books & Music called the events compelling and fascinating. Read more about events. Listen to podcasts.
