Representative Boggs. Those were the questions I was about to ask.
Mr. Oswald. I would say this would also apply to my older brother John, and also to Lee. It appears as though Lee was able to put up with her more than I or my older brother John could.
Representative Boggs. Your father died when you were what, about 5?
Mr. Oswald. Five years old, sir.
Representative Boggs. You were living in New Orleans when he died?
Mr. Oswald. That is correct, sir.
Representative Boggs. What did he do?
Mr. Oswald. He worked for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of New Orleans, in the office in New Orleans.
Representative Ford. Were your mother and father living a happy normal life at the time of his death?
Mr. Oswald. Well, sir, I was 5 years old and I would say that they were. Certainly I do not recall any instance that would indicate that they were not, and I think we had a very fine family atmosphere.
