Afterward/ Afterword
There is a skip or something in the flow of a couple of the pages-
ie. The bottom of Page 127 has its’ continuation
at the top of Page 130.
Photo Section
Page 160
· The caption beneath this photo of the
solid bronze casket (top photo) is not the caption that I typed & sent
with the rest of my data & photo captions. The problem with the way caption
currently in the book is worded is that it indicates that the casket shown
is the ‘Elgin Britannia’. This photo is not of an Elgin Brittania,
the photo is of a Batesville ‘Classic Gold’ solid bronze casket
similar to the Elgin Britannia.
Please replace the existing caption with the following original caption;
“This solid bronze ceremonial casket is as close as is currently (2008)
available in size, weight & design to the Elgin Britannia as provided by
O’Neal Funeral Home in Dallas for the repatriation of President Kennedy
on Friday November 22, 1963.” (C. McSween & Joe Weigel, Batesville
Casket)
