A pictorial display entitled "Life of a President" and an article entitled "A Luncheon With a Courageous Man" from page 1B from the Orlando Sentinel the day after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The lengthy article entitled "A Luncheon with a Courageous Man" was written by then publisher of the Orlando Sentinel Martin Anderson.
His final paragraph expressed the feelings of most:
"He belonged to the people and the people loved him as an individual, because he was a warm, charming human being with a beautiful wife and two wonderful children. And because he was fundamentally a great American who believed in rights for all  the  people."
