Still fresh history at that time.

Not even 40 years had passed, so there were those who had personal memories of the assassination. Just as today we have those who can say where they were when they heard of Kennedy's assassination. So places like this were as important then as the Texas Book Depository is to us today. The Depository's name may have changed to Dallas County Administration Building, but the sixth floor is preserved as a museum. It will always be the building from where the shots were fired, just as this was still the building where Lincoln died, no matter what else was done in memory.

Laundry Goose?

Submitted by bohneyjames on Mon, 04/20/2015 - 9:51pm.

Fascinated by the cartoon goose in the laundry window; whimsy in an otherwise austere setting. What is written on the placard?

Thanks, tterrace - have you seen this figure before? ...he looks vaguely familiar to me, but I don't know why and can't find him anywhere online.
