Mr. Jenner. Then you had your walking trip throughout the spring and summer and fall of 1960?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. No; it was just fall. We started October 6. We left Dallas on October 6 or October 5.
Mr. Jenner. 1960?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. 1960.
Mr. Jenner. And you returned when?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. And we returned to Dallas fantastically close to the same date—in the very first days of October. I worked for another company for one season, 6 months, Justin McCarthy, before our trip.
Mr. Jenner. Spring or fall?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. That was summer, just before we went on our trip. I believe it was June, July, and August, September, maybe too. 1960. I worked almost until the last day before we left on our trip.
Mr. Jenner. And you got back in 1961. Then did you return to work when you got back?
Mrs. De Mohrenschildt. No; I didn't, because we thought we are going to go back to Haiti in 6 weeks. The contract that my husband was negotiating was supposed to materialize within 6 weeks. And I was stupid enough to talk about it, tell everybody. So, naturally, I could not take the job for a short time, because designing you are involved. You start and cannot drop it. And then it was dragging and dragging and dragging, and actually took a year instead of 6 weeks to materialize the whole thing.
