United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. LIEBELER. How long have you been attending LSU?
Mr. WULF. Four and a half years. I am a senior at this time.
Mr. LIEBELER. You obtained your primary education and secondary
education here in New Orleans?
Mr. WULF. That is correct.
Mr. LIEBELER. Where did you obtain that education, what schools?
Mr. WULF. My primary education was obtained, up until the seventh
grade, at Redemptorist Grammar School. For high school I attended De
La Salle High School in 1956, and in 1958 and 1959 I attended Cor Jesu
High School in New Orleans and graduated there in 1959.
Mr. LIEBELER. And then from there you went to LSU?
Mr. WULF. LSU, right.
Mr. LIEBELER. Have you been in the Army or any branch of the military
service?
Mr. WULF. No. I am exempted at this time.
Mr. LIEBELER. The Commission has received information to the effect
that you were the President of the New Orleans Amateur Astronomy
Association----
Mr. WULF. That is correct.
Mr. LIEBELER. Sometime during the year 1955. Is that correct?
Mr. WULF. That is correct.
Mr. LIEBELER. What is the New Orleans Amateur Astronomy Association, or
what was it at that time?
Mr. WULF. It was at that time an organization of mainly high school
students in the city, mainly at De La Salle at that time, interested in
astronomy, who owned telescopes, did observation, etc.
Mr. LIEBELER. Is the group still active?
Mr. WULF. No. We are still listed as active in the membership rolls
of the national association, but we are not active due to the fact
that most of the members are out of town, either in the military or in
college.
Mr. LIEBELER. In connection with your activities in the New Orleans
Amateur Astronomy Association, did there ever come a time when you were
contacted by or met a person who you either now believe or know to be
Lee Harvey Oswald?
Mr. WULF. I believe it was. The one person who could have confirmed
this in my behalf was Mr. McBride, P. E. McBride, who is in Florida at
this time.
Mr. LIEBELER. That is Palmer McBride?
Mr. WULF. Right. But I had met Oswald through McBride. He contacted
me on getting into the Astronomy Club at that time, and it was--I had
originally believed it was 1953, but on recapitulating the time and
all, probably it was September or August in 1955.
Mr. LIEBELER. Do you remember how Oswald got in touch with you?
Mr. WULF. Not exactly. It was either one of two ways. I believe he had
talked to McBride or McBride had talked to him during the time they
were working together at Pfisterer's Dental Laboratory, and I believe
he got in touch with me on the telephone about getting into the group
and I told him--he asked me could he come over to the house one time,
and I believe he soon did. I don't remember the time that elapsed
between what I believe was the phone call and then the actual visit.
Mr. LIEBELER. This fellow that called you and then came over to your
house did work at Pfisterer's Dental Laboratory? Is that correct?
