Curatorial Commentary

Ms. Winnette was one of several individuals who attended a public program at the Museum on November 11, 2011 and volunteered to participate in the Oral History Project. We are always grateful when individuals come forward, willing to share their memories of President Kennedy and the 1960s. In soliciting oral histories over the years, our motto has always been: "Everyone has a story." If you or someone you know has a story to share, please contact us at oralhistory@jfk.org. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
