Mr. Jenner. Would it be a fair summary on my part to say that your contact with these people had been largely either in connection with your interest in the Quaker Friends groups and their activities, and your work in furthering their activities, your avid interest in the study of and improvement of your command of the Russian language and then your contacts with Marina Oswald and Lee Oswald?
Mrs. Paine. I would say it was mostly the latter. I met very few native Russians through my interest in Friends, but through being interested in Russian there were a good many native Russians at the Middlebury College, for instance, and the Berlitz teachers have to speak natively whether or not they were born in Russia, so that these would be my contacts.
Mr. Jenner. Your pen pal correspondent in Russia, at least the second one, was Nina Atarina?
Mrs. Paine. Aparina, A-p-a-r-i-n-a.
Mr. Jenner. And she is the school teacher?
Mrs. Paine. She is.
Mr. Jenner. And you haven't heard from her in, did you say, 6 or 8 months?
Mrs. Paine. It would be a year, I am quite certain.
Mr. Jenner. Mrs. Paine, in your own words would you tell us something about your father and mother, your family generally, their interests? Put it in your own words. We are just trying to supply a background.
Mrs. Paine. I can start most easily with their present activities. My mother has just completed work for a bachelor of divinity from Oberlin College in Ohio. She has already been ordained as a minister of the Unitarian Church. She hopes to do work as a chaplain in a hospital, and toward that end has 6 more weeks training to complete in inservice training in a hospital. My father is working for a Nationwide Insurance Co. He has been on special assignment from them to—I am not certain of the name of the organization—to cooperative alliance in Europe.
