Mr. Donovan. That is it. He was from Louisiana, I believe. And this boy fixed me up with his sister who was an airline stewardess. I took her out on one occasion, I believe that this boy was at least interested enough in Oswald that he fixed Oswald up with her once. And she related to me that he could speak Russian, which I had heard before. And she referred to him as kind of an oddball. You probably have her name and can talk to her.
Mr. Ely. Was her name Rosaleen Quinn?
Would that ring a bell? You don't remember?
Mr. Donovan. No, I am sorry, it doesn't ring a bell.
Mr. Ely. But you feel that if we could locate this woman, she could tell us something that would be of interest in reconstructing his personality?
Mr. Donovan. She went out with him once, maybe twice. Maybe more than that, I don't know about. I don't know if she could or not.
Mr. Ely. Do you remember any fields other than foreign affairs which Oswald did extensive reading in?
Mr. Donovan. No, I do not.
Mr. Ely. Have you ever stated that Oswald prided himself on knowing the names of the great philosophers, or would this statement, if attributed to you, have been a mistake?
Mr. Donovan. No, that is a correct statement. He knew the names of some philosophers.
