Gary DeLaune Reported History

Gary Delaune was the first person to announce the shooting of President John F. Kennedy. But the story for the young reporter from KLIF in Dallas was just beginning. A wanna-be big shot named Jack Ruby, who was a hanger-on at the KLIF studios would concoct a scheme to make his name while trying to find Gary.

Recorded on April 5th, 2016, the following tracks are the final show in season one of Worth Repeating, Texas Public Radio's Live Storytelling Project.
