This \"Living History\" discussion was one of three programs in the Museum's collection that featured Mr. Mooney, recorded between 2006 and 2010, in addition to his 2002 oral history with The Sixth Floor Museum.  \r\nDuring this particular program in 2009, I remember that Luke became quite emotional when recalling the moment of the president's death, and I reached out to touch his arm in consolation.  This little moment was captured on video, and it remains one of my favorite moments during a Museum program. \r\nLuke really enjoyed participating in Museum programs, especially when he was able to speak with a group of school children and share his first-hand account of finding the \"sniper's perch\" on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. He last participated in a Museum program less than five months before his death. - Stephen Fagin, Associate Curator"]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"64538"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"44 Minutes"}}]}
