Sid Davis was a reporter covering JFK's Texas trip. He accompanied the president on all of his appointments, and on the day of the shooting he was there for breakfast in Fort Worth, the arrival at Love Field, the motorcade, and the frantic hours at Parkland Hospital. When Kennedy's body arrived at the White House later, he was also there, recording it all in a notebook he still has today.
