Curatorial Commentary

B. H. "Tim" Timmins Jr. passed away on April 2, 2013. His two oral histories with The Sixth Floor Museum, recorded in 2003 and 2004, total nearly five hours. His was the longest interview in the Museum's Oral History Collection for more than a decade until Warren Commission assistant counsel Howard Willens participated in a record eleven-hour oral history in 2018. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
