Mr. Oswald. That is correct. And their parents agreed to that—because they didn't want us to stay up in the academy at Christmas time more or less by ourselves. They wanted to have us with them.
Mr. Jenner. You seem to have a rather vivid recollection of the Benbrook, Tex., home. I take it that during a summer vacation you lived in Benbrook, Tex., with your mother and Mr. Ekdahl and Lee.
Mr. Oswald. This particular house I refer to, a native stone home—I believe that is correct.
Mr. Jenner. So that you did have at least two summers at home while you were at the military academy, and the third summer your mother asked you to stay during summer school, and you did not come home?
Mr. Oswald. She asked us, and it was the intent that we stay. But at the last moment we did not go to summer school that year at the academy. We did come to Fort Worth.
Mr. Jenner. I see.
Mr. McKenzie. Mr. Jenner, may I interrupt you please?
Robert, when did you leave, or when did your mother sell the house on Victor Street in Dallas. Tex., if you recall?
Mr. Oswald. I believe she sold it at the time that they moved to Boston, Mass.
Mr. McKenzie. That was some time prior to Christmas of 1945, is that correct?
