I walked over to Elm Street to see the Kennedy delegation. . . . President Kennedy and [[Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis|Jackie]] made a handsome couple. She was resplendent in her pink dress and pink pillbox hat. The crowds on the sidewalks applauded, and waved as they drove by. . . . I entered the hotel . . . The room was almost filled, and people were seated at the individual tables. ... We had the invocation, and many guests began to eat their lunch. Suddenly we heard sirens screaming and someone from outside ran up to the head table and excitedly said, 'The President, Vice President, and Governor Connally have all been shot.' I stood and announced the news. There was stunned silence in the room. Someone then produced a radio, and the news confirmed that the President (and Connally) had been shot.<ref>Jack Crichton, ''The Republican-Democrat Political Campaigns in Texas in 1964,'' self-published, 2004, pp. 7-8, ISBN 1-4184-2574-5 (paperback).</ref>​</blockquote>
