I enjoyed it, too, but thought they tried to squeeze too much into the time allowed. It was well done, though.

Some other interesting info that I learned:

- unlike the Lincoln relics on display at Ford's all of the JFK relics such as his suit, Oswald's rifle, and Jackie's pink outfit are property of the National Archives and are not allowed to be displayed publicly per agreement with the Kennedy family until the year 2113!

- Jackie's pink hat is not part of the collection because it is owned my an unknown private collector. However, our own Jim Garrett knows who owns it and how she acquired it (it was a gift from Jackie if memory serves) but he is tight lipped about it.

- the last thing JFK ever signed was his name on a newspaper for a maid at the Hotel Texas that morning.
