Former Texas first lady Nellie Connally dies

[SlowwHand]

This probably won't matter to most, but she was a good person.
Just before the assassination, she had turned to JFK, and said, "Well, you certainly can't say Dallas doesn't love you now, Mr. President."

Nellie Connally, the former Texas first lady who was riding in John F. Kennedy's limousine when he was assassinated, has died, a family friend said Saturday. The 87-year-old was the last living person who had been part of that fateful Dallas drive. Mrs. Connally, the widow of former Gov. John Connally, died late Friday at an Austin assisted living center, said Julian Read, who served as the governor's press secretary in the 1960s. Her death was from natural causes, though the exact cause was not known late Saturday. She was at her desk writing thank-you notes when she died, Mr. Read said.

When did they die? I.e., I find it difficult to believe all those younger men who were in the car pre-deceased her.

I don't understand your question, Che. You're asking where guys younger than her are now? I don't have a clue.

The 87-year-old was the last living person who had been part of that fateful Dallas drive.

That's why he's asking about the SS men and drivers.

[SlowwHand]

How would I know where they are, and why is that relevant?

[Kuciwalker]

He's saying it's odd that they died before she did.

:gasp: She shot him!

[SlowwHand]

Who says they're dead.

I've been thinking about this. I think Che is saying, why didn't they protect her from dying while write thank you notes.

I know it makes no sense, but Che likes to screw with my head.

No. Che is looking at that statement:

The 87-year-old was the last living person who had been part of that fateful Dallas drive.

and seeing that it implies that the drivers, SS men, etc. have already died at some point. He thinks that doesn't make sense, since they were probably younger and healthier.

[SlowwHand]

I don't think they were considered part of the drive.
The article is referring to the car carrying John and Nellie Connally in front, John and Jackie in the back.

Agents were hoofing it.
