Mr. Jenner. I was about to ask you that question. There have been people who have been interviewed, teachers and others, a good many of them as a matter of fact, who have described your brother as an introvert. Your mother used the expression that he was a loner in a statement that she made to the authorities in New York City, and I think on this record.
Was he in your opinion, gathered from your actual experience with him during his lifetime, a loner, that is, a person who would tend to prefer to be by himself and not seek out friends, not necessarily repulse friends but not affirmatively seek them out?
Mr. Oswald. I would say yes and no, sir, to that question if I may.
Mr. Jenner. All right.
Would you expand then and explain your answer yes and no?
Mr. Oswald. I feel like in the late 1940s to about the time of my departure to the service in July of 1952, that he did seek out friends, and that he did have friends. However, after my release from the service in 1955, I do believe that he had become more grown to himself.
Mr. Jenner. That is during the interim he had become, while you were away?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
Mr. Jenner. You noticed a change in him when you returned from the service?
Mr. Oswald. Yes, sir.
