Mr. OSWALD. It was my mother, John Edward Pic, myself, and Lee Harvey
Oswald.
Residing at the Victor Street address, in Dallas, Tex. I recall that
perhaps more numerous occasions he was there--now I can say three or
four times he was around the house prior to the marriage.
Mr. JENNER. And what was the nature of your mother's employment, if she
was employed, in the period immediately preceding the marriage of your
mother to Mr. Ekdahl?
Mr. OSWALD. I am sorry, sir, I don't remember.
Mr. JENNER. But she was employed?
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, sir. I do recall that this was quite a large house. It
was a two-story house. And she was renting apartments.
Mr. JENNER. Serving as a rental agent?
Mr. OSWALD. No. She owned the house, to my knowledge--she owned this
house. I believe there were two upstairs apartments.
Mr. JENNER. In addition to that, was your mother separately or
independently employed--that is independently from----
Mr. OSWALD. I believe so, sir. Where, I do not recall.
Mr. JENNER. And at that time all three of you boys were
attending--would that be elementary school at that time?
Mr. OSWALD. Elementary school, that is correct.
Mr. JENNER. In Dallas?
Mr. OSWALD. Lee was not.
Mr. JENNER. I beg your pardon?
Mr. OSWALD. This would have been prior to Lee's sixth birthday, I
believe, and he would not be attending at that particular time.
Mr. JENNER. But you and your brother John were?
Mr. OSWALD. That is correct.
Mr. JENNER. Would you be good enough to tell the Commission as much as
you can recall, especially of your early life--elementary school days.
We are not going to probe into this in any great length. But we would
like the background and flavor in which the family lived.
Start as early as you have any reasonable recollection.
Mr. OSWALD. All right, sir.
I believe after my father's death in 1939, John was attending
elementary school. We lived at the corner of Alvar and Galvez, in
New Orleans, La. And the school was right across the street from us,
elementary school.
