United States. Warren Commission
Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. HUBERT. Now would you tell us of your occupation and residences
after your marriage, say from January 1946 forward?
Mr. SENATOR. After I went out of business, after my partner and I went
out of business, I moved down to Miami and I had two or three odd jobs
there.
Mr. HUBERT. How long did you stay there?
Mr. SENATOR. At these jobs, do you mean?
Mr. HUBERT. No.
Mr. SENATOR. Or Miami?
Mr. HUBERT. Yes.
Mr. SENATOR. I stayed in Miami, I would say, around 7 or 8 years. As a
rough guess, something like that, offhand.
Mr. HUBERT. You had a number of jobs during the first year that you got
there; is that right?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. What kind of work did you do?
Mr. SENATOR. Restaurant-type work.
Mr. HUBERT. I notice that your social security records indicate that
you either had no earnings or at least that none were reported for the
second half of 1947 and the first half of 1948, approximately a year.
Can you explain that?
Mr. SENATOR. 1947 and 1948?
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, for the third and fourth quarters from
a social security point of view of 1947 and the first and second
quarters——
Mr. SENATOR. Of 1948?
Mr. HUBERT. Of 1948, so it would be roughly from July 1947 to June of
1948 there were no earnings reported.
Mr. SENATOR. 1947 and 1948?
Mr. HUBERT. After which—this may assist your memory—for the third
quarter of 1948, that is say from July on, you report having worked at
the Lake Carrolton Club Grill in Pike. N.H.
Mr. SENATOR. Oh, yes.
Mr. HUBERT. So, perhaps if you remember working in New Hampshire, you
can back off and tell us what happened in that year when there were no
earnings reported. This may assist you too. The social security records
show that in the first quarter of 1947, that would have been January,
February, and March, you apparently worked for the T-A Hensroost.
Mr. SENATOR. I believe that was the first job I had when I got down in
Miami, if I am not mistaken. I think that was the first job I got. That
was an open stand on the oceanfront.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember that you worked there actually for the
first 6 months?
Mr. SENATOR. At the Hensroost?
Mr. HUBERT. Of 1947.
Mr. SENATOR. At Hensroost? I can’t quote how long I worked there, but I
know that I worked there.
Mr. HUBERT. Now then, perhaps we can reconstruct the thing, because
you apparently left there at the Hensroost in midsummer of 1947, and
then you pick up in midsummer of 1948 in New Hampshire, and it is the
intervening year that I would like to have you cover.
Mr. SENATOR. Wait a minute. Oh, then I think after that, yes, I was out
of a job for a while and I don’t recall how long. Then I got a job in
another little luncheonette for a while and I don’t know how long that
was.
Mr. HUBERT. It may be that you did not have enough earnings to require
reporting them, you see. What I am trying to do is assist your memory.
Do you recall leaving Miami Beach to go to New Hampshire?
