Warren Commission (08 of 26): Hearings Vol. VIII (of 15)
United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. CONWAY. It's funny, but I'm not so--not absolutely sure what year I
started working nights. I know I worked nights before I moved to Fort
Worth and I moved to Fort Worth from Grand Prairie in 1948, and that
was the--was before the Oswalds came, and I know I worked nights before
they moved into that neighborhood and I took a preference to the second
shift, so I did work the second shift at all times when it was possible
since that time. It's more than likely that I was on the second shift
almost all times they were there.
Mr. JENNER. Did a time come when the family moved?
Mr. CONWAY. Yes; and I don't remember exactly what year it was but it
must have been in 1951 or 1952.
Mr. JENNER. If they came in 1948, and they were there 4 years, that
would be 1952.
Mr. CONWAY. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Now; had either of the older boys already left before the
family moved?
Mr. CONWAY. Well----
Mr. JENNER. Take this boy who you took a particular interest in--John
Pic.
Mr. CONWAY. John went into the Coast Guard at sometime and it seems to
me that he joined the Coast Guard before they moved away, but I'm awful
cloudy on that.
Mr. JENNER. Well, have you exhausted your recollection on that?
Mr. CONWAY. Well, I don't know--I remember talking to John--John, when
he is in this part of the country, he comes to my house and I remember
talking to him about it and he was quite enthusiastic about the Coast
Guard, but that's after he had been in the service sometime. I believe
he left before his mother did. He left and went into the Coast Guard
before his mother moved away.
Mr. JENNER. You--could you refresh your recollection that he did leave
before the mother and Lee left?
Mr. CONWAY. I believe I remember that.
Mr. JENNER. And he was in the Coast Guard and stationed in New York?
Mr. CONWAY. Yes.
Mr. JENNER. New York City, Staten Island, as a matter of fact?
Mr. CONWAY. Well, I didn't know. He married a girl in New York City and
I believe--I believe my wife told me that Mrs. Oswald told her that
she was going to New York on account of John being there. After John
left, I didn't have much contact with them at all, because John was my
contact with them.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall whether Robert was still with the family when
Mrs. Oswald picked up and left? Or had he also entered the service?
Mr. CONWAY. That, I don't recall.
Mr. JENNER. You would be very helpful to us, if you would give us the
names of some children at or about his age, who are still around this
vicinity, whom you think might recall him.
Mr. CONWAY. What year did you say he was born in?
Mr. JENNER. 1939, October 18.
Mr. CONWAY. 1939----
Mr. JENNER. If he were alive, he would be approaching 25 years of
age--this would be his 24th year and he would be 25 years old next
October.
Mr. CONWAY. Well, I have discussed it with the Masseys, they live
across the street.
Mr. JENNER. Give me their full name and address and telephone number,
if you will?
