The Sixth Floor Museum's Living History series links the past to the present through individuals who witnessed the assassination of President John F. Kennedy or other historic events of the 1960's.
Today an Associated Press photographer, Ferd Kaufman, who was at the Fort Worth breakfast and Trade Mart luncheon on Nov. 22, 1963 was the guest speaker. Mr. Kaufman took one of the first photos of Lee Harvey Oswald in custody and covered the Jack Ruby trial.
