DescriptionVideotaped oral history interview with Peggy Carey. A California high school student, Carey celebrated her seventeenth birthday four days prior to the Kennedy assassination. She was inspired in part by President Kennedy's death to later become a stenographer with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Interview conducted by telephone on September 17, 2015 by Stephen Fagin. The interview is twenty-two minutes long.
Curatorial CommentaryAs of 2023, the Museum has recorded oral history interviews with nine male FBI agents. To date, Peggy Carey is the only female employee of the FBI to record an oral history, although she was not working at the Bureau at the time of the assassination in 1963. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
