AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Former Texas first lady Nellie Connally donated to the LBJ Library and Museum on Monday her handwritten notes of President Kennedy's assassination and the suit she wore the day he was killed in Dallas.
The widow of former Gov. John Connally wrote 26 pages of notes 10 days after the Kennedy assassination. She and her husband, who survived the shooting that day, were riding in the limousine with the president and his wife on Nov. 22, 1963.
Nellie Connally recently published those memoirs in the book "From Love Field: Our Final Hours with President John F. Kennedy."
Of the assassination, she wrote: "I looked back and saw the president's hands fly up to his throat. He made no sound, no cry nothing. I had a horrifying feeling that the president had not only been shot, but could be dead."
