As a volunteer consultant in the 1980s, Carl Henry helped establish the Oral History Project at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. Even before the exhibit opened in February 1989, Henry recorded a handful of audio cassette interviews with individuals such as author Seth Kantor, reporter Jerry Flemmons and Tippit shooting eyewitness Jim Archer. He also sat in on the Museum's 1989 oral history with Earl Ruby, brother of Jack Ruby. - Stephen Fagin, CuratorCarl Henry passed away on December 6, 2008 at the age of 54. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
