"The Photographers Remember" Oral History

In addition to this short group discussion in 1996, previous and subsequent videotaped oral history interviews were recorded by The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza with all participants, except for F. Mark Bell, Marilyn Willis, and Charlette Bronson Laughlin. Videotaped interviews were recorded with Patsy Paschall (5/17/1997), James and Tina Towner (3/30/1996), Jack W. Daniel (2/11/1997), Bert Shipp (11/17/1992), Orville Nix, Jr. (8/15/2002), and Frances Bronson with Barbara Young (8/14/1996). In addition, Tina Towner Pender, Jack W. Daniel, and Orville Nix, Jr. participated in subsequent Museum programs. As of summer 2022, six of the speakers are known to have passed away: Marilyn Willis, James Towner, Jack W. Daniel, Bert Shipp, Frances Bronson, and F. Mark Bell. Although unfortunately brief, this the only known occasion that so many Dealey Plaza photographers gathered together for a videotaped conversation. This private event was recorded shortly before the Museum's Legacy 1996 program with Richard B. Stolley (see 1996.055.0023). -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
