Mr. Pic. When I received my orders, I was under the impression he was in Korea, sir. I knew he was overseas in the Japanese-Korean area.
Mr. Jenner. Had you had any communication from him prior to your going to Japan?
Mr. Pic. To the best of my knowledge, sir, sometime after he entered the service and went overseas I received a letter from him, very short note. He wrote a very short note. I no longer have this.
Mr. Jenner. He entered the service in October of 1956?
Mr. Pic. I was in the Air Force at Mitchel Air Force Base at the time. Do you want me to finish with my military dates, and then I can go back?
Mr. Jenner. Yes.
Mr. Pic. November 1958, 10 November 1958 until 17 July, 1962, I was stationed in Japan. In August 1962 until the present date assigned to Lackland, Wilford Hall Air Force Hospital, Lackland Air Force Base.
Now, in the time period from—my mother paid us a Christmas visit, sir, during the Christmas holidays of 1957, I believe, after Lee had joined the Marine Corps.
Mr. Jenner. Yes; that would be a little over a year, that would be a year and 2 months after he had joined the Marine Corps.
Mr. Pic. Yes.
