Curatorial Note:

KLIF Radio police reporter Gary DeLaune, an acquaintance of Jack Ruby, covered the events of that weekend and was an eyewitness to the shooting of Lee Harvey Oswald. He recorded oral histories with The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza in 1998 and 2012. - Stephen Fagin, Curator

Pictures are overexposed when too much light enters the aperture, producing images that are washed out and lacking detail. Most of the images on this strip appear overly bright because they were overexposed. This image is only slightly overexposed, compared with some of the much lighter images earlier on this strip. When Museum staff scanned this negative strip in 2012, they used photo editing software to try to correct the overexposure, allowing us to see some detail in the images that was not visible before. - Lindsey Richardson, Curator of Collections
