Mr. Voebel.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

While you were going to Beauregard?

Mr. Voebel.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

But he did have trouble making friends at Beauregard; right?

Mr. Voebel.

Well, to tell you the truth, Lee didn't go out and look for friends. He didn't seem to care about having friends. He had a few friends, but I think that was the way he wanted it. At least, that seems to be the way he was best able to cope with things, to just more or less be by himself and go and come as he wanted to.

Mr. Jenner.

And you don't think Lee was an outstanding student in his studies at Beauregard? You think he was more or less average; is that right?

Mr. Voebel.

Yes; he was just an average student.

Mr. Jenner.

How was his attendance at school? Did he miss many days; do you know?

Mr. Voebel.

No; I don't think he missed much schooling. I think his attendance was pretty good.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you boys ever discuss the Marines?

Mr. Voebel.

No; I was not much on the Marines.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, my question was did you talk about this subject with Lee?

Mr. Voebel.

No; we didn't discuss that.

Mr. Jenner.

Did he ever talk about his brothers?

Mr. Voebel.

No. I think that he mentioned he had one or two, but there was never any talk about them. I don't know anything about his brothers--I mean what they do, how they are, and what their life is. I have no impression of that whatsoever.

Mr. Jenner.

Did you ever have the impression that he probably received his just dues in the world up to that point?

Mr. Voebel.

I think I made a statement to that effect, but I can't really say for sure. Maybe it was later that I got that impression. That's hard to pin-point right now, in looking back at all this.

Mr. Jenner.

But did you have such an impression at that time?

Mr. Voebel.

No; I had no impression like that at that time. Like I said, I wasn't looking for stuff like that.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, sometimes you don't look for that sort of thing because you have a previous impression; isn't that true?

Mr. Voebel.

Yes; that's true, but I don't think I had that impression at that time. I'll say this: most of the things about Lee I liked. I think I might have made a statement like that, about him being bitter toward the world and everything, but of course, that would have been my opinion since this happened. I wasn't talking then about when we were going to Beauregard, to the same school.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you remember making a statement to the FBI that in your opinion Oswald was bitter since his father died when he was very young, and that he thought that he had had a raw deal out of life?

Mr. Voebel.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you remember that statement?

Mr. Voebel.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you still carry that opinion, and hold it?

Mr. Voebel.

Like I say now, I think this opinion was formed later.

Mr. Jenner.

And you don't think you had those impressions then?

Mr. Voebel.

No; I didn't; not back in those days. I formed that later.

Mr. Jenner.

What was that embitterment directed toward?

Mr. Voebel.

Toward authority, I would say. He didn't like authority.

Mr. Jenner.

You noticed that at that time, did you?

Mr. Voebel.

I think so. He didn't seem to like to be told what to do, or made to do something.

Mr. Jenner.

Is there a Civil Air Patrol unit here?

Mr. Voebel.

Yes; I think they have two.

Mr. Jenner.

Two?

Mr. Voebel.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Were there two here at that time?

Mr. Voebel.

Yes.
