Mr. JENNER. Not at that time. He was then 2-1/2.
Do you recall transferring from William Frantz Elementary School to
George Washington Elementary School?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; I do.
Mr. JENNER. Was that some time in late September or in November,
perhaps of 1940.
Mr. PIC. Well, prior to that we went to another place, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Your first elementary school was William Frantz?
Mr. PIC. That is correct, sir.
Mr. JENNER. And you attended William Frantz until when, to the best of
your recollection?
Mr. PIC. I don't think I attended William Frantz after----
Mr. JENNER. The death of your stepfather?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; somewhere around there. We went to a boarding school
over in Gretna, La. Infant Jesus College was the name of it, I believe,
both Robert and I, and we hated the place.
Mr. JENNER. That was a very short period of time?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; because we hated the place.
Mr. JENNER. I will get to that in a moment.
Mr. PIC. I don't know whether it was before Washington or after. I
think it was before Washington.
Mr. JENNER. Perhaps I can refresh your recollection this way. Your
stepfather died in August of 1939. You were then living in the house at
the corner of Alvar and Galvez which you recall as Alvez and Galvez.
Do you recall that some months after the death of your father and in
the following year, the late winter or early spring, that you moved
from that house?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall a physician by the name of Mancuso?
Mr. PIC. It may or may not be familiar, sir. I don't know.
Mr. JENNER. He was the doctor who delivered Lee, and also the man who
rented the house in which you had been living. Do you recall that?
Mr. PIC. No, sir.
Mr. JENNER. You do recall leaving that house in which you had been
living at the time of the death of your stepfather?
Mr. PIC. Yes, sir; sometime afterward.
Mr. JENNER. Do you recall that it was a matter of months and not a
matter of years?
Mr. PIC. It had to be months, sir, because I have got something else
for 1940 here.
Mr. JENNER. When you moved from the house in which you had been living
at the time of the death of your stepfather, do you recall moving to
1242 Congress Street?
Mr. PIC. No, sir. I remember moving to a Bartholomew Street.
Mr. JENNER. That Bartholomew Street, I will get to that in a moment,
perhaps to refresh your recollection was a little house that your
mother purchased on contract.
Mr. PIC. What, Bartholomew?
Mr. JENNER. Yes.
Mr. PIC. I remember that house.
Mr. JENNER. 1010 Bartholomew.
Mr. PIC. That could be it, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Before you moved to 1010 Bartholomew you lived, did you
not, at 1242 Congress?
Mr. PIC. I don't remember, sir.
Mr. JENNER. Your mother didn't sell the Alvar Street house until
January of 1944.
Mr. PIC. I thought it was sold the day we moved out.
