Mr. JENNER. Chronologically.
Mr. OSWALD. The first year that we attended there, Mr. Ekdahl was on
the road quite a bit. And they had during the winter of 1945 gone to
Boston, where they stayed, I would say, for approximately 6 months.
I understand Mr. Ekdahl had been married and had a son by a prior
marriage, and they had lived together, all of them--Lee, my mother, Mr.
Ekdahl, and his son--in Boston. But that he was on the road quite a
bit. And I recall a picture of mother and Lee in Arizona.
Mr. JENNER. Living in Arizona?
Mr. OSWALD. No, sir; not living. On one of the trips.
Mr. JENNER. I see.
Representative FORD. One of the trips with Mr. Ekdahl?
Mr. OSWALD. Ekdahl, and mother and Lee had gone along with him. Whether
this was a business trip or a vacation trip, I don't recall.
Mr. JENNER. I see.
Following their living for 6 months in Boston, where did they live
thereafter, during that period of time, until the divorce?
Mr. OSWALD. I believe after they left Massachusetts, they moved to
Benbrook, Tex., and resided at Benbrook, Tex.
Mr. JENNER. And where is Benbrook with respect to Dallas?
Mr. OSWALD. It is--well, with respect to Fort Worth, that to me would
be easier to say, it is just a little ways northwest of Fort Worth,
on the edge of the city limits of Fort Worth now. At this particular
time it was just more or less a wide spot in the road. The house--I
recall going there, perhaps this was during Christmas leave from the
academy--the house was a good sized stone home that had some acreage
with it. There was a creek that was perhaps 400 or 500 yards behind the
house. I remember, I believe, right before we arrived on this first
occasion, Lee had found a skunk out there. He didn't know what a skunk
was, but he found out.
Mr. McKENZIE. Benbrook is a suburb of Fort Worth.
Mr. OSWALD. Yes, Benbrook is a suburb of Fort Worth.
