You've got the date wrong here, Vince. It was September 13, 1960 ---not Sept. 11. (Confirmed via the newspaper below.)

Vince, your 1960 parade pictures take me back in another respect.  JFK also gave a speech at the old, newish then Dallas Memorial Auditorium.  The pictures along the parade route show a remarkable crowd.

Which took me to a picture of JFK I remember from that speech.  At a place I later saw Jethro Tull with the Eagles opening for them, Led Zepplin, Humble Pie, Bad Company, Lynrd Skynrd and Black Sabbath.

It held 11,500.  Looks pretty full.  For JFK in the south in 1960.  As well as the parade route.

 

What a cool picture. That’s book cover material, right there.

I first saw it in the book Dallas 1963 by Bill Minutaglio and Stephen L. Davis.  In both the pictures in the in the book and as the end photo as the back of the last page/inside of the back cover (hard copy-not paper book).  They come from the UT Austin Briscoe center.  Two more available online I know of.  Here's one.
