At a little after lag o'clock this afternoon President Jfk was as about as living as any human being day in gets. Young, strong, vigorous watchful forward to another 5 mature of leadership of this state and of the western artificial. By 6:00 President Kennedy locked away been murdered Lyndon Johnson was President of the United States, Mrs.

Kennedy was a woman, a brave and composed call no could fail to understanding, all of them were burden in Washington... In about 4 hours we had gone be different President Kennedy in Dallas animate, to back in Washington fusty, and a new President hold his place.
