Bill Beal took this and several other photographs while on a walk downtown that evening with women's news editor Vivian Castleberry. A professional friend from Canada had asked Castleberry to write a brief story on the mood in Dallas on the evening of the assassination. She began her story with the line, "Dallas is a ghost town tonight." - Stephen Fagin, Curator
