Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963 -- Assassination; Oswald, Lee Harvey
Mr. SENATOR. Oh, sure; I remember going. I don’t remember what year,
but I remember going, yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember what time of the year, whatever year it was?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; I went there for one summer.
Mr. HUBERT. For the season?
Mr. SENATOR. The season; yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Your wife went with you?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. HUBERT. She stayed in Miami?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. When you finished the season there, what happened?
Mr. SENATOR. Well, I come back and I was—I’m trying to think. What year
was that, 1940-what?
Mr. HUBERT. It was the last half of 1948. Perhaps I can assist your
memory too by pointing out that your social security records indicate
that you worked for T-A Troops.
Mr. SENATOR. Yes, that is the place I was trying to mention to you but
I couldn’t think of it. Now I don’t remember if I worked for that place
after I come back or before. That is the thing I don’t remember.
Mr. HUBERT. You worked for that place quite a length of time, I believe.
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. How long? Do you remember?
Mr. SENATOR. Gee, I don’t remember how long I worked there.
Mr. HUBERT. Where did you live when you were working for Troops?
Mr. SENATOR. Northwest Fourth Terrace.
Mr. HUBERT. Miami Beach?
Mr. SENATOR. No; Miami.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words, the restaurant was in Miami Beach?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. On Collins Avenue?
Mr. SENATOR. That is right; yes.
Mr. HUBERT. You lived in Miami City itself?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Were you living with your wife then?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you recall what your next move was?
Mr. SENATOR. I believe my next move is I got a job selling. I was
broken in selling women’s apparel, if I recall right.
Mr. HUBERT. Women’s apparel?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes.
Mr. HUBERT. Before we leave the Miami Beach situation, what was
the cause of your leaving Miami Beach and the Miami area, because
apparently you did?
Mr. SENATOR. You mean when I went to Texas?
Mr. HUBERT. No, when you left Miami you did not go directly to Texas,
did you?
Mr. SENATOR. Oh, sure.
Mr. HUBERT. You did?
Mr. SENATOR. Sure. Come this May 15, and I think I am pretty well on
the date, I have been in Texas 10 years.
Mr. HUBERT. So you moved to Texas in 1954?
Mr. SENATOR. May of 1954.
Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember working for the Rhea Manufacturing Co.?
Mr. SENATOR. Yes; out of Milwaukee, Wis. That was my start. Is that in
the year of 1950, something like that? I don’t remember, 1949, 1948?
Mr. HUBERT. The social security records indicate 1951.
Mr. SENATOR. Is that what it is? I just don’t remember. It could be
1951.
Mr. HUBERT. You were working for Rhea Manufacturing Co., and the
records also show that you worked for Smoler Bros., Inc., in Chicago.
Mr. SENATOR. That is right.
Mr. HUBERT. The Rhea Manufacturing Co. was in Milwaukee, Wis. Did you
live in Milwaukee?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. HUBERT. And in Chicago?
Mr. SENATOR. No.
Mr. HUBERT. In other words——
