United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. VINSON. It didn't at the time. However, it did later, it seemed
strange now. I don't recall that I thought anything at all about it at
the time.
Mr. LIEBELER. But you knew of none of the boys who ever went to
Oswald's house or associated with him outside of the classroom or
outside of the playground, at that time?
Mr. VINSON. I knew of none, that is right.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you know where Oswald lived?
Mr. VINSON. I didn't, but I somehow had the notion perhaps I had seen
him walking home, but I had an idea about where he lived, about where I
thought he lived, however, I don't know. I never went to his house or I
never knew anyone who did, or anything like that.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you know whether Oswald had any brothers or sisters?
Mr. VINSON. No.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you ever see Oswald after you left the second grade
at Lily B. Clayton School and moved away to another section at Fort
Worth?
Mr. VINSON. If I did, I don't recall. It is possible, because I do
recall that I ran across several of the kids that I had gone to school
with over there after I moved away, but I don't know whether he was one
of them. I just don't remember.
Mr. LIEBELER. What school did you go to? What school after you left
Lily B. Clayton?
Mr. VINSON. G. E. Talldy Elementary School.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you go to high school from elementary school?
Mr. VINSON. No. I went to that school from the third grade to the sixth
grade, and then to junior high for 3 years.
Mr. LIEBELER. What junior High.
Mr. VINSON. Meadowbrook Junior High.
Mr. LIEBELER. Is that in Fort Worth, also?
Mr. VINSON. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. And from there you went to high school?
Mr. VINSON. Polytechnic High School.
Mr. LIEBELER. Also in Fort Worth?
Mr. VINSON. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Have you gone to college?
Mr. VINSON. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. Where?
Mr. VINSON. I went to two colleges. I went to Arlington State College.
Mr. LIEBELER. For how long?
Mr. VINSON. Well, it is broken up into a couple of segments. I went
there in the fall of 1958, and the spring of 1959. The fall of 1959 and
the spring of 1960. Part of the summer of 1960. Half of the summer, one
semester. I did not go to college at all in the fall of 1960.
Then in the spring of 1961 I went back to Arlington State College, and
in the fall of 1961, I went to Arlington State College, and the spring
of 1962 I transferred to North Texas University in Denton. I went there
that semester, both semesters, all of 1962, and the spring of 1962. The
spring of 1963--excuse me, and half of the summer of 1963.
Mr. LIEBELER. Did you graduate from that school?
Mr. VINSON. Yes.
Mr. LIEBELER. What did you major in?
Mr. VINSON. Journalism.
Mr. LIEBELER. Have you ever met anybody since you moved away from Lily
B. Clayton that knew Oswald either at Lily B. Clayton or anywhere else?
