“There are no faint hearts in Fort Worth and I appreciate you being here this morning. Mrs. Kennedy is organizing herself. It takes longer, but of course, she looks better than we do when she does it.”
President John F. Kennedy
A light rain was falling on Friday morning, November 22, but a crowd of several thousand stood in the parking lot outside the Texas Hotel where the Kennedys had spent the night. A platform was set up and the president, wearing no protection against the weather, came out to make some brief remarks. He opened with the words above and afterwards reached out to shake hands.
