Washington (CNN) - Texas Republican Congressman Roger Williams was especially stunned as he sat in school on November 22, 1963, and heard President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. Earlier that morning, he stood outside the Fort Worth Hotel with his mother and shook the President's hand right before he got on a plane and flew to Dallas.
"I literally was the last person to shake his hand as he left the hotel," Williams told CNN. He was 14 years old at the time.
