President John F. Kennedy briefly addressed the crowd gathered outside the Hotel Texas in downtown Fort Worth the fateful morning of Nov. 22, 1963. Cries among the 5,000 people there echoed, "Where's Jackie? Where's Jackie?" The president was scheduled to speak at a breakfast hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. He began, "I'm glad to be here in Jim Wright's city." Almost an hour and a half later, the Kennedys were traveling by motorcade to Carswell Air Force Base where they would board Air Force One for the short flight to Dallas.
