Curatorial Commentary
The Museum's WFAA-TV footage of the Kennedys at Dallas Love Field show several journalists, including Tom Dillard, holding their cameras high in the air above their heads, which is how they came to get this 'overhead' view of President and Mrs. Kennedy. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
The U.S. Secret Service agent in the center of this photograph is Paul Landis. The agent visible in the upper right corner is Clint Hill. Both were assigned to Mrs. Kennedy's detail at the time of the assassination. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
