If Killians Secretary knew morethan Killians family then how do you explain the performance evaluations that are signed by Killian himself??

"A 1971 evaluation said Bush had the potential to "promote well ahead of his contemporaries" and added, "Lt. Bush's main strengths are his eagerness to participate in the unit's activities and his ability to work harmoniously with others." A 1970 letter recommending him for a promotion from second to first lieutenant called him "a dynamic outstanding young officer."

"Lt. Bush is possessed of sound judgment, yet is a tenacious competitor and an aggressive pilot," said the letter from Jerry Killian, then a lieutenant colonel in the Texas Air National Guard. "He is mature beyond his age and experience level."
