Mr. Griffin. For how many years were you separated from the rest of the family as a child?
Mr. Ruby. To tell you the truth, I don’t know when it started. I would say 5, 6 years maybe. I was in three foster homes that I remember all together. I know I was on a farm, and then at two foster homes that I can distinctly remember.
Mr. Griffin. Do you remember how old you were when you returned to the home of your family, your mother’s and father’s home?
Mr. Ruby. Well, I think it was in 1928, 1928, so I must have been 13 years old.
Mr. Griffin. And that would have made Jack 17.
Mr. Ruby. Seventeen; I am not sure whether it was—I just don’t remember. It has got to be a little before that. Because I went to that Shepherd School for a few years, it had to be there from 1925 to 1928, but I don’t know exactly.
Mr. Griffin. Were you living in the home when you went to the Shepherd School?
Mr. Ruby. You mean was I living with the family?
Mr. Griffin. Yes.
Mr. Ruby. Yes.
