Mrs. Murret. No; Loyola of New Orleans.
Mr. Jenner. I see.
Mrs. Murret. St. Louis University, the coach there wouldn't let him play baseball, and baseball was his love. He was a very good basketball player too, but he loved to play ball. He even played with the St. Louis Cardinals on a farm team, but he saw he would never really get anywhere as an outfielder, so he quit.
Mr. Jenner. But he was good enough to play on one of the St. Louis Cardinals farm teams; is that right?
Mrs. Murret. Yes. He was a good athlete. He was good at ball, baseball and basketball, and in fact, he went to Murray, Ky. He was one of the boys selected from the South. They had a North and South game, and he was selected from the southern section. It was an all-star game of some kind. He just won a trip to Rome with the Swift Co.
Mr. Jenner. He works for the Swift Co. now?
Mrs. Murret. Yes. He and his wife are leaving this Saturday.
Mr. Jenner. How nice.
Mrs. Murret. He earned it. I mean, he didn't win it; he earned it.
Mr. Jenner. Now, you say that while Marguerite was in Covington with the three boys in the summer of 1946, that Mr. Ekdahl continued in his travels in connection with his business?
