money from my Dallas friends. It started with very little we--started with $10,000 or $20,000, and now it is a $2 million foundation, with headquarters in New York. Last year I was chairman of this foundation in Dallas for the first public subscription to our Cystic Fibrosis Fund for the Dallas children, and we got $25,000.
Now my son, Sergei, died from cystic fibrosis in 1960.
By the way, the reason for our divorce, in addition to whatever disagreements we had, which was not very important, was the fact that we both obviously have a tendency for cystic fibrosis, a genetic affinity for cystic fibrosis, and the children born from such a marriage have a very poor chance to survive. She wanted more children. She was scared to have more children with cystic fibrosis. The little girl is still alive. She lives in Philadelphia.

Mr. Jenner.

She is with her mother?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. With her mother, yes.

Mr. Jenner.

Is her mother pursuing her profession in Philadelphia?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Her mother is not actually practicing but she is in charge of the Cystic Fibrosis Research Institute in Philadelphia, she is a trustee of Temple University.
But her husband, Dr. Denton----

Mr. Jenner.

She remarried?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. She remarried.

Mr. Jenner.

What is his-full name?

Mr. De.

MOHRENSCHILDT. Dr. Robert Denton. He is the doctor who treated our children for cystic fibrosis. At present he is a professor of pediatrics and assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Jenner.

I don't want to go into the litigation. There was some litigation, was there not, between you and your former wife with respect to some trust?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Trust fund.

Mr. Jenner.

Established for whom?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Established for Sergei, for our son. Now, I had to contribute, according to the divorce, $125 a month for the support of the children, which I did, and she put that money in a trust fund. She did not want to use that money for the upkeep of the children, because she is independently wealthy, and eventually she refused to accept any more contribution of money from me. I objected on my side to the fact that I was removed away--that the children were very far away from me. They were living in Boston at the time, and I encountered constantly difficulties in regard to my visitation rights of the children. Well, anyway, finally all of a sudden, after Sergei died, a long time afterwards, I received a notification that we inherited, my ex-wife and I--we inherited this trust fund.

Mr. Jenner.

Which trust fund?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Established for Sergei, our son.

Mr. Jenner.

Who established the trust fund?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Her grandfather, my boy's grandfather, Mr. Sharples, plus the money that came from my monthly contribution for the children's support--whatever money she could put in it. Anyway, it was a small trust fund of $24,000, which, eventually was split up between my ex-wife and myself--about $12,000 each. There was a litigation in regard to that, but I don't know if it is interesting for you.

Mr. Jenner.

No---I have the complaints. Your ex-wife--Dr. Denton lives in Philadelphia?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And she does research work, does she?
Mr. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. She doesn't do the actual research. She is more or less running the administration end of a second foundation. She was eventually asked to leave the National Cystic Fibrosis Foundation which we had formed together in Dallas, and which became this national foundation.
She developed some difficulty with the other trustees and was asked to resign, or resigned herself---I don't know for sure the other trustees say they asked her to resign. She says she was forced to resign. And she formed with the help of her father and her friends another foundation in Philadelphia which is much smaller, and I think which does also research on cystic fibrosis. And she
