Mr. Ford. The next contact was after Christmas 1962. Between Christmas and New Year's we gave a cocktail party and some friends of ours, George De Mohrenschildt and his wife were invited and later called my wife and asked her if it would be all right to bring Lee and Marina to the party and my wife said sure, bring them along or might have asked me if it was all right to bring them along and I said sure. It was prior to December 28.
Mr. Liebeler. Did Oswald come with De Mohrenschildt?
Mr. Ford. Yes, he came with De Mohrenschildt.
Mr. Liebeler. Did you know anything about the relations between Oswald and the De Mohrenschildts?
Mr. Ford. I knew they were friends, no more than that. How often they saw each other or what they talked about or anything they talked about I don't know.
Mr. Liebeler. How old are the De Mohrenschildts?
Mr. Ford. I guess George De Mohrenschildt is between 50 and 55 years old.
Mr. Liebeler. Did it seem curious to you that a man that age would be close to Lee Oswald who was around 21 or 22 at that particular time?
Mr. Ford. Not in the particular case.
Mr. Liebeler. Why do you say that?
