'JFK with Gaylord...'

50 years ago, today, in 1963, JFK was assassinated while on a visit to Dallas, Texas. Today, we honor and remember JFK's inspiring leadership. Pictured here, is our President from 1960, while on a visit to Los Angeles with the Gaylord proudly standing guard over him.

The Gaylord has even more political history with Richard Nixon keeping an apartment in the Gaylord during the 1962 California Gubernatorial race, which he lost. This after having lost the 1960 Presidential race to JFK.
