Mr. JENNER. I gather from this discussion with you that, up until this horrible tragedy happened, you had at least a favorable impression of Lee, and even though your opinion of his personality and attitude and behavior might have changed since you learned of this tragedy and since his death, you at least, up until that time, had a good opinion of him; is that right? Mr. JENNER. Right. Mr. JENNER. You think he was a normal boy, at least in most respects, and he was not what we have referred to as a roustabout or a member of a gang at school, or anything like that? Mr. VOEBEL. That's right. Mr. JENNER. While you were going to Beauregard? Mr. VOEBEL. Yes. Mr. JENNER. But he did have trouble making friends at Beauregard; right? Mr. VOEBEL. Well, to tell you the truth, Lee didn't go out and look for friends. He didn't seem to care about having friends. He had a few friends, but I think that was the way he wanted it. At least, that seems to be the way he was best able to cope with things, to just more or less be by himself and go and come as he wanted to. Mr. JENNER. And you don't think Lee was an outstanding student in his studies at Beauregard? You think he was more or less average; is that right? Mr. VOEBEL. Yes; he was just an average student. Mr. JENNER. How was his attendance at school? Did he miss many days; do you know? Mr. VOEBEL. No; I don't think he missed much schooling. I think his attendance was pretty good. Mr. JENNER. Did you boys ever discuss the Marines? Mr. VOEBEL. No; I was not much on the Marines. Mr. JENNER. Well, my question was did you talk about this subject with Lee? Mr. VOEBEL. No; we didn't discuss that. Mr. JENNER. Did he ever talk about his brothers? Mr. VOEBEL. No. I think that he mentioned he had one or two, but there was never any talk about them. I don't know anything about his brothers--I mean what they do, how they are, and what their life is. I have no impression of that whatsoever. Mr. JENNER. Did you ever have the impression that he probably received his just dues in the world up to that point? Mr. VOEBEL. I think I made a statement to that effect, but I can't really say for sure. Maybe it was later that I got that impression. That's hard to pinpoint right now, in looking back at all this. Mr. JENNER. But did you have such an impression at that time? Mr. VOEBEL. No; I had no impression like that at that time. Like I said, I wasn't looking for stuff like that. Mr. JENNER. Well, sometimes you don't look for that sort of thing because you have a previous impression; isn't that true? Mr. VOEBEL. Yes; that's true, but I don't think I had that impression at that time. I'll say this: most of the things about Lee I liked. I think I might have made a statement like that, about him being bitter toward the world and everything, but of course, that would have been my opinion since this happened. I wasn't talking then about when we were going to Beauregard, to the same school.
