Mrs. Ford. Well, I know George De Mohrenschildt the same, approximately, I will say I was acquainted with him for approximately 14 years but I don't know him well.
Mr. Liebeler. You mentioned before that De Mohrenschildt was the only member of the Russian community that kept on seeing the Oswalds and trying to help them.
Was there any discussion about that among your friends?
Mrs. Ford. Yes; George De Mohrenschildt is rather an odd ball, among Russians anyway, so it was nothing unusual about him doing that. He was always doing something unusual. He would even go to church with shorts on, you know, this is something, he would do something that nobody else would do.
Mr. Liebeler. Shorts?
Mrs. Ford. Shorts.
Mr. Liebeler. Short trousers?
Mrs. Ford. Yes.
Mr. Liebeler. Do you remember any specific conversations about the reasons as to why De Mohrenschildt continued to associate with the Oswalds after the rest of you had given them up.
Mrs. Ford. Well, I remember his wife was telling me like she felt it was their duty now since everybody else dropped them and they needed help.
