DescriptionVideotaped oral history interview with Michael Okon. A senior at Hillcrest High School in Dallas in 1963, Okon skipped a geometry test and went with a friend to watch the Kennedy motorcade as it left Dallas Love Field.
Interview conducted at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza on April 25, 2006 by Stephen Fagin. The interview is forty-four minutes long.
Curatorial CommentaryThis interview was particularly meaningful to me since Michael Okon is my uncle. Ironically, I did not know he saw the Kennedy motorcade on November 22, 1963, until at least two years into my employment at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. It then took more than a year to convince him to participate in this archival project. - Stephen Fagin, Associate Curator
