Bernadine Stetzel, like many Americans, vividly recalls the earth shattering day in November 1963 when the grim news broke of President John F. Kennedy's assassination. She had always admired Kennedy and the hope and promise he brought his country. Upon his death she felt compelled to pay homage to the late president. As an artist, she chose to record, in her unique primitive style of painting, a remembrance of Kennedy. Over a period of twenty years, Mrs. Stetzel's series grew to a total of 71 paintings. Her dream of finding a permanent home for them-a place where they would be cared for and maintained for generations to come-finally became a reality in 2011. Mrs. Stetzel donated the entire series to The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. "Remembering J.F.K." now completes her homage to the late president.
