Curatorial CommentaryLess than one month after this interview, I had the pleasure of recording an oral history with Ms. Taylor's husband, Bob Taylor, who is referenced during this interview. Bob Taylor, while serving in the U.S. National Guard, was called up for service during the Berlin Crisis in 1961. At the time of the assassination, he was also working at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
