Mr. Jenner. Did you notice any other traits about him that you wondered about, or that you thought unusual or strange?
Mr. Evans. He seemed to be in deep thought a lot of times—always thinking. He was hard to get to.
Mr. Jenner. He was hard to get to?
Mr. Evans. Yes; that's right.
Mr. Jenner. Did you ever feel that you ever got to know Lee Oswald, Mr. Evans.
Mr. Evans. No; I can't say that I ever did. I don't think anybody did. I don't think anybody even came close to it, because the way he was nobody could figure him out. It was hard to get to him or to understand him. He didn't want you to get too close to him, for one thing. He never went out of his way to make friends, I mean, from what I knew of him.
Mr. Jenner. He sort of shied away from friends, or people who might have become friends, or who might have tried to be friendly with him?
Mr. Evans. Yes; that's it. You would try to be nice to him, but he wouldn't appreciate it, and he didn't mind showing you that he didn't appreciate it. My sister-in-law's children tried to be friendly with him when we had him across the lake to their house. They asked him to go swimming with them, and everything, but he just wanted to be by himself. Finally, the kids got so that they just didn't pay any attention to him. Kids are like that, you know. If he wanted to be that way, that was all right with them. They just went ahead and enjoyed themselves, and to heck with him. They didn't let him bother them at all with the way he acted.
Mr. Jenner. As I gather it, they tried to be friendly with him, but when he wouldn't reciprocate, then they said, in effect, "OK, we won't be friendly; see if we care"; is that right?
Mr. Evans. That's right.
