She said, "Mrs. Oswald, what build is he?"

And I told her. And he was about the same build as her husband.

So she got out a lot of work clothes that her husband didn't want.

However, she asked me $10 for 12 pairs of used pants. And I would not

buy--give her $12. Here is a very wealthy woman, and she knows the

story. And she knows that I have no money. And yet she expects me to

pay for his used clothing. And so I have this principle about me. And I

did not buy the used clothing, the clothing for Lee.

Now, Lee is having a birthday, which is October 18th. And this is

approximately the 6th or 7th of October.

Now, this Sunday, October 12th, I went--this is very important,

gentleman--I went to this home and I was there--I asked to get off an

hour or two to see the children, from this OB case at the Rosenthals. I

went to see my son and daughter-in-law, and they were nicely dressed.

And while there, about 10 minutes, a young couple came into the home,

approximately the same age as Marina and Lee, and they had a little

boy who I would say was about 6 or 8 months older than June. The woman

put the little boy in the playpen with June, and June went to touch

him, and Marina got up and said, "Oh, no, hurt baby." She spoke in

English. So I said, "Do you speak Russian?" to this couple. And they

said, "No, we don't. We are Americans. But my father"--and I will have

to say this--"or grandfather"--I do not know which--"is a Russian, from

Siberia, and that is how we know Marina and Lee."

So the conversation was general. And in the general conversation--now,

this couple was from Dallas, visiting my family in Fort Worth. The

conversation was general.

And she said, "Lee, my father has this place of business in Dallas, and

will offer you a job in Dallas."

I said, "Lee, I didn't know that you wanted to give up your job and

work in Dallas, because the Rosenthals that I am working for, her

father owns the meatpacking house in Dallas, and she has told me that

he employs hundreds of people, and if ever any time that you are in

need, to go see her father, that she would be sure that he would give

you a job."

So, gentlemen, this was on a Sunday.
