the youngest, she was also one of the most popular as she was young,
beautiful and stylish and threw great parties.

On the 21 of November 1963 JFK and Jackie Kennedy went on a trip to Texas. After breakfast on the 22 John, Jacqueline, the
Texas governor John Connally and his wife Nellie flew from Fort Worth's Carswell Air force base to Love Field.
A 15.3 km motorcade would take them to trade mart where the president would speak at a lunch. The motorcade turned around a
corner on Elm Street when Jacqueline heard what she thought was a motor cycle backfiring, she did not realize it was a gunshot until

prerogative (choice)"
