Curatorial Note:

Gary Mack passed away on July 15, 2015 at the age of 68. Mack developed a research interest in the Kennedy assassination in the 1970s and, after a career in broadcasting as an announcer, camera operator and producer, joined the Museum's staff in 1994 as archivist. He was named curator in 2000. One month after his passing, the Museum held this memorial tribute program: Gary Mack Memorial Tribute (youtube.com). - Stephen Fagin, Curator

Although Gary Mack joined the staff of The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in 1994, this was his first recorded daytime gallery talk, presented less than three months before the 2004 presidential election. Mack went on to lead or moderate a number of public programs until his passing in 2015. His last gallery talk, commemorating the 25th anniversary of The Sixth Floor Museum, may be viewed here: https://emuseum.jfk.org/objects/43001. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
