In this oral history, Calloway recalled that the president was dead on arrival and remained on a stretcher in an Emergency Room hallway "for probably about half an hour after he got to the hospital" before his body was taken into Trauma Room One. Virtually all other eyewitness accounts have the president being taken immediately into Trauma One for resuscitation efforts. - Stephen Fagin, Curator Sharon Calloway passed away on December 15, 2014. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
