Curatorial Note:

As mentioned during this interview, Lisa Lazo Herndon wrote a letter to the editor at The Dallas Morning News about her memorable encounter with Mrs. Kennedy in Fort Worth. Her letter was published in the newspaper in August 2013. The Museum quickly reached out for an oral history, which was recorded a few months later. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
