Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. Where does she live?
Mrs. PAINE. She lives and works in Boston where she is a teacher of
Russian language at Simmons College, as I recall.
Mr. JENNER. Did she at one time live in New York City?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; her home is New York. She spent her high school years
there after having immigrated from France, and I believe her mother
still lives there, is a tutor for the Berlitz School in Russian in New
York.
Mr. JENNER. Her mother is?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. All right.
Now we have your study at Pennsylvania, University of Pennsylvania, and
your study at the Berlitz School in Philadelphia, was it?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And your study at Middlebury College. What additional
formal or at least let us say semiformal instruction or education have
you had in the Russian language?
Mrs. PAINE. I then moved to the Dallas area to the place where I
presently live in Irving, and then I would guess it was early in 1960
I took up some study again at the Berlitz School in Dallas, completed
a course which I had paid for in Philadelphia, and then went on after
that with private lessons with Mrs. Gravitis, who has already been
mentioned.
Mr. JENNER. Is Mrs. Gravitis also an instructor in the Berlitz School
in Dallas?
Mrs. PAINE. I met her because she was an instructor for a short time
there and I think is yet on call to them as an instructor.
Mr. JENNER. Does that cover your formal education in the Russian
language?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; it does.
Mr. JENNER. Now, are you a teacher of Russian?
Mrs. PAINE. I have one student whom I teach beginning Russian.
Mr. JENNER. Is that a connection with an established institution?
Mrs. PAINE. It began in connection with an established institution
during the summer of 1963, at the Saint Marks School of Texas in
Dallas, Tex.
Mr. JENNER. And you were the teacher of Russian in the Saint Marks
School during that quarter or summer term?
Mrs. PAINE. Summer term.
Mr. JENNER. And arising out of that has been your engagement as a
tutor, is that correct?
Mrs. PAINE. That is correct.
Mr. JENNER. Who is your student?
Mrs. PAINE. My student's name is Bill H-U-T-K-I-N-S.
Mr. JENNER. Is he, what is he, a young man?
Mrs. PAINE. I am sorry, it is H-O-O-T-K-I-N-S.
Mr. JENNER. How old is he?
Mrs. PAINE. He turned 15 in the summer.
Mr. JENNER. Is he a native American so far as you know?
Mrs. PAINE. As far as I know, yes.
Mr. JENNER. Is it your--has it been also your desired objective on your
part to teach Russian as a regular instructor or teacher in the public
or private schools?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes; I would like to do that.
Mr. JENNER. That is still your hope and desire?
Mrs. PAINE. It interests me very much.
Mr. JENNER. And it has been for sometime an objective of yours, has it?
Mrs. PAINE. Yes.
