DescriptionOriginal 35mm black and white negative taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. This image shows President Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy being welcomed by Dallas Mayor Earle Cabell and his wife Dearie at Love Field on the morning of November 22, 1963. The president is almost completely obscured, standing behind his wife. Mrs. Cabell is handing Mrs. Kennedy a bouquet of red roses. Vice President Johnson stands behind the roses. Texas Governor John Connally stands behind Mrs. Kennedy. Senator Ralph Yarborough is at the bottom of the stairs. Two Secret Service agents stand side-by-side at the top of the stairs, both with coats over their arms: Roy Kellerman and Clint Hill. The images on this negative strip were taken by a Dallas Times Herald staff photographer. There were three photographers at Love Field that day: John Mazziotta, Bob Jackson and Eamon Kennedy. It is not known which of the three took these pictures.
