He was at Parkland Memorial Hospital on unrelated business when the presidential motorcade arrived six minutes after the assassination, and he was present when President Kennedy was taken to Trauma Room One. Farris, who also knew Jack Ruby, later served as one of many consultants to filmmaker Oliver Stone during the production of his 1991 film, JFK. -- Stephen Fagin, Curator
