Curatorial Note:

Ms. Cunningham, a longtime nutritionist at Tulane University School of Medicine in Louisiana, visited The Sixth Floor Museum at the 40th anniversary of the assassination in November 2003. After her trip to Dallas, she volunteered for an oral history but preferred to be interviewed in person rather than by telephone. We kept in touch for the next five years until we were able to record this interview during a return visit to Dallas in 2008. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
