Curatorial Commentary
Born January 17, 1962, Rosemarie DeTrempe was only twenty-two months and five days old at the time of the Kennedy assassination on November 22, 1963. She is among the youngest individuals interviewed as part of the Oral History Project with early childhood snapshot memories of that day and weekend. Another interview subject with very early recollections, Catherine Demonet, was slightly younger at seventeen months and four weeks. Demonet was interviewed in January 2017. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
