I'm John Bachelors.

Paul Gregory is the author of the new book The Oswald's.

The word shilling is inadequate because we're about to understand who Lee Oswald was from

the point of view of people who tried to help him, tried to help Marina, tried to help

their daughter, their baby daughter, June, and eventually their baby daughter, Rachel,

helped them all in Fort Worth and Dallas for more than a year.

It begins with Pete Gregory, who is a refugee from the Soviet creature many years before

in the 1920s, but he's now well employed and sophisticated and a volunteer of Russian

teaching at the Fort Worth Public Library.

One of his students, he does not know the name.

One of his students gives him a call eventually or suggests to her son, Lee Harvey Oswald,

that he's a person to look to because he's a Russian speaker who can translate easily.

Lee Harvey Oswald has arrived in town after a troubled history and is seeking employment,

the Texas Employment Office, well meaning and spontaneously calls up Peter Gregory and

asks if he'll interview this young man, see if his Russian skills are adequate.

Paul, can you remind us what your father first made of Lee Harvey Oswald when he walked

into that heavy wool suit in June of 62?

Well, my recollection is that Lee did come in and he brought with him perhaps a manuscript

of his historic diary which he was trying to get published and he wanted my father's

support on that.

But anyway, Lee came to my father's office and presented himself as a Russian speaker

who had spent time actually three years in Minsk, USSR.
