Curatorial Note:

Prior to this 2007 videotaped interview, Dr. Couch was among the first individuals to record an early 1989 audio cassette oral history with the Museum. Dr. Couch also participated in a Museum panel discussion with other assassination eyewitnesses in November 2000. - Stephen Fagin, Associate Curator

Malcom Couch's first name is spelled with one "L" not two. Mal, as he is known to friends, has had his name misspelled by others all his life, but says it doesn't really bother him. - Gary Mack, Curator
