Mr. PIC. I don't know what she did with the money, sir. She bought very little as far as clothes and things. We didn't eat steak every day. We didn't eat that good. In fact, when I joined the service in 1950, I was 118 pounds, and my weight prior to that was usually about 130, 140. I think within a month or two after I joined the service I was up to 145 and none of my uniforms fit me. I was--there is a picture of me in the Pasqual High School thing, and I am very thin. People couldn't recognize me from that picture. I lost a lot of weight working, and not eating too good. I would come home and have to fix my own meals. Mr. JENNER. Was your mother attentive in that respect? Did she go out of her way to have meals ready for you boys when you returned to home either after work or after school or otherwise? Mr. PIC. If there was a majority eating there was usually something set aside for the lesser, which was kept warm in the oven. Mr. JENNER. You mean the member of the family who was absent at mealtime she would save something for him? Mr. PIC. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. Did you get the feeling, you and your brother, in due course, that your mother's references to these financial needs at times, at least when, to use the vernacular, she was crying wolf? Mr. PIC. Yes, sir. Mr. JENNER. These continued references by her to her financial needs, did you think that had an effect on Lee as well as on yourself and your brother? Mr. PIC. It didn't affect me that much. I ignored most of them. If I had money I sent it. If I didn't, that was it. Lee was brought up in this atmosphere of constant money problems, and I am sure it had quite an effect on him, and also Robert. Mr. JENNER. In her letter enclosed in the envelope postmarked June 18, 1951---- Mr. PIC. What number is that, sir? Mr. JENNER. That is Exhibits Nos. 19 and 19-A--she makes reference that Robert has been saving his money since January to buy a car and "gives me $15 a week and never spends a cent unless absolutely necessary (is he tight) but he has saved $210 since the first of the year and is hiding"---- Mr. PIC. Hitting. Mr. JENNER. "For $400" and so on. Mr. PIC. Before buying a car. Mr. JENNER. "Won't loan me a penny, pays his room and board regularly. He gets 2 weeks vacation with pay, I believe, will start in July." Do you remember your mother attempting to borrow money from you? Mr. PIC. When I went home on leave in 1950 with a hundred or so dollars, like I mentioned before, she wanted to hold it, just about the whole amount except for about $10 from me, so nothing would happen to it, and I might get robbed or something, she felt. Whenever she could she attempted to get a buck out of any of us. Mr. JENNER. Did you get any of that money back? Mr. PIC. I got it all back and subsequently when I left I gave her, I think $50 or so.
