Mrs. Hall. The Communists. When the Communists started in, my father was over in the Russian Army in Siberia. He was a prisoner, and after he got out, he escaped, they came back. I mean they came to Iran.

Mr. Liebeler. Did they eventually move to the United States?

Mrs. Hall. No; my mother was here in 1960, but she came just to visit and went back.

Mr. Liebeler. Are they still living in Tehran?

Mrs. Hall. No; both are dead.

Mr. Liebeler. Both are dead?

Mrs. Hall. Yes.

Mr. Liebeler. Tell us the circumstances surrounding your moving to the United States, if you would.

Mrs. Hall. Well, I worked for 10 years. I worked for dentists, and I knew a little bit of laboratory work. Then I decided to continue and have some kind of diploma, and that is why I came to the United States.

My best friends, they were coming to the United States. So they told me that there are some technology schools here in the United States that I can go and accomplish my dental technology, and that is why I came to New York and was in the dental technology school where I met John. So he wanted—instead of going back, I married him and came to Texas.
