Nota curatorial:

In addition to Andy Hanson, I have had the pleasure of interviewing six other Returned Peace Corps Volunteers who served in Liberia from 1962 to 1964. Oral histories with Dr. Angene and Jack Wilson (https://emuseum.jfk.org/objects/73290); George Vance (https://emuseum.jfk.org/objects/73415) and George Hess (https://emuseum.jfk.org/objects/73410) may be found in the Museum's online collections database. - Stephen Fagin, Curator

Returned Peace Corps Volunteer Andy Hanson is not to be confused with longtime Dallas Times Herald photographer Andy Hanson. The late photojournalist Andy Hanson covered the Kennedys in Fort Worth and later documented the assassination aftermath across Dallas. He recorded an oral history in 1996: https://emuseum.jfk.org/objects/15770. The Museum acquired his assassination-related negatives and photographs in 2016. - Stephen Fagin, Curator
