Mrs. Evans. Well, like I said, he seemed to be sympathetic toward Russia, but he told me that he was glad to be back in the United States, and that the only reason he was in Russia working at all was because he had married this Russian girl and wanted to get her out of the country, or he would have been back sooner.
Mr. Jenner. Did he say anything about his having served in the Marines, anything about how he felt about that service, or did you know he was in the Marines?
Mrs. Evans. Well, I sort of half way knew about it, maybe from his aunt; I don't know, but I don't even remember if Lee mentioned that fact in our discussion that day. I don't really remember that. I do know that he always wanted to go in the Marines.
Mr. Jenner. He always wanted to go into the Marines?
Mrs. Evans. Yes; he did.
Mr. Jenner. Tell me about that. How do you know that?
Mrs. Evans. Well, because when he was going to Beauregard, he wanted to be a marine.
Mr. Jenner. He expressed that to you?
Mrs. Evans. Yes; he always wanted to be a marine. He often said that.
Mr. Jenner. Do you recall a period of time when he wasn't in high school, but he still lived there?
