Curatorial Commentary

I met Frank O'Grady in 2021 through our mutual friend, Judge Burt Griffin, who was an assistant staff counsel to the Warren Commission investigation in 1964. Mr. O'Grady assisted Judge Griffin with photographic research for Griffin's book, JFK, Oswald, Ruby: Politics, Prejudice and Truth (2023). - Stephen Fagin, Curator
