Mr. Jenner.

And you worked for Clark for how long?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. For Clark, on and off almost until our trip, our walking trip to Central America. I worked with them until 1960.

Mr. Jenner.

That was in 1960?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. 1960.

Mr. Jenner.

Then you had your walking trip throughout the spring and summer and fall of 1960?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; it was just fall. We started October 6. We left Dallas on October 6 or October 5.

Mr. Jenner.

1960?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. 1960.

Mr. Jenner.

And you returned when?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. And we returned to Dallas fantastically close to the same date in the very first days of October. I worked for another company for one season, 6 months, Justin McCarthy, before our trip.

Mr. Jenner.

Spring or fall?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. That was summer, just before we went on our trip. I believe it was June, July, and August, September, maybe too. 1960. I worked almost until the last day before we left on our trip.

Mr. Jenner.

And you got back in 1961. Then did you return to work when you got back?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; I didn't, because we thought we are going to go back to Haiti in 6 weeks. The contract that my husband was negotiating was supposed to materialize within 6 weeks. And I was stupid enough to talk about it, tell everybody. So, naturally, I could not take the job for a short time, because designing you are involved. You start and cannot drop it. And then it was dragging and dragging and dragging, and actually took a year instead of 6 weeks to materialize the whole thing.

Mr. Jenner.

But it did eventually materialize?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; fortunately it did. Because I was badly hurt by it, and so was he, because everybody knew he is going to go off on this, and he couldn't do very much, either.

Mr. Jenner.

And----
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. For me it was really drastic.

Mr. Jenner.

But you went to work--you did return to work before you went to Haiti?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; but a short time. I just did it because we needed to do it.

Mr. Jenner.

What did you do?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Millinery. I was working in the millinery department, Sanger and Harris, Preston Center, Dallas.

Mr. JENNER. Preston Center?
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Yes; Preston Center Store.

Mr. Jenner.

And you worked in the millinery department until just before----
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. Before we left for the east, before we made a trip east. And we left 19 April. We drove off from Dallas. Nineteenth of April we left Dallas. Instead of staying a week or 10 days as we planned, because George had so much trouble with his little girl, and then he was also in Washington.
We returned almost at the last days of May. I had 2 days to pack the whole house, and store the furniture, and separate the clothes, and God knows--we almost went crazy, you know. We did it all in 2 days. And then we drove back to Miami, because we had to ship a car. Grace Line wasn't going to Haiti any more. So we drove to Miami, and we flew over, and our car came over later on, on a boat, with our clothes, with everything.

Mr. Jenner.

From the time you left for Haiti from Miami, which, I think, was on the second of June----
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. We arrived 2 June. Oh, yes; that is right.

Mr. Jenner.

2 June 1963, have you been back to the United States other than this trip you have now made to testify----
Mrs. DE MOHRENSCHILDT. No; we have been a couple of days in San Juan about 10 days ago. That is as close as we came to the United States. In fact, we didn't leave the country at all.
