Before the shooting, the only thing Uvalde was known for was being the home of John Nance Garner. JFK called to wish Garner a happy 95th birthday on the morning of Nov 22, 1963. A VP to FDR.

@piquant00 It was mentioned in news reports in the hours before JFK's assassination. The town Uvalde didn't register with me until after the awful events of a few years ago.
@NorCalCherylLyn @piquant00 I forgot about the Matthew McConaughey connection.
@poemblaze @piquant00 I did not know that but sadly I did know that it’s Mathew McConaughey’s hometown. 🤦🏻♀️
