Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Your children born here?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you a native of this area of the country?
Mr. Taylor.
I am a native of Wichita, Kans. I've been in Dallas since 1951.
Mr. Jenner.
Did your profession or avocation or vocation or work bring you to Dallas?
Mr. Taylor.
No; I moved here with my parents.
Mr. Jenner.
Your parents came here. All right. And what is your business or occupation or profession?
Mr. Taylor.
I'm a recording engineer for the Sellers Co.
Mr. Jenner.
And what is the Sellers Co?
Mr. Taylor.
A recording company whose primary function is the recording of radio and television commercials.
Mr. Jenner.
And how long have you been in that business?
Mr. Taylor.
I went to work for them in September.
Mr. Jenner.
1963?
Mr. Taylor.
Prior to that, I was in the Motion Picture Industry. Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Give me your occupations back through, let us say, 1961.
Mr. Taylor.
Uh--prior to joining the Sellers Co. in September last, I was self-employed in the Motion Picture Industry in Dallas as a grip and assistant cameraman. Before that, I worked at various part-time jobs and attended college at Arlington State.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you a graduate of Arlington State?
Mr. Taylor.
No; I'm not. I'm a 3-year student.
Mr. Jenner.
So, you've had elementary and high school education and 3 years at Arlington State?
Mr. Taylor.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you attending there at night--is that a night school?
Mr. Taylor.
They hold night classes. I'm not attending.
Mr. Jenner.
During the time you had your interest, which you still may have, in--what did you say--photographing?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
What was the nature of that?
Mr. Taylor.
Oh--it was motion picture work primarily centered around television commercials.
Mr. Jenner.
Are you an amateur camera fan?
Mr. Taylor.
Just a little bit. I try to carry it on as best I can.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you at any time become acquainted with or meet either Marina or Less Oswald?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Which of the two did you meet first?
Mr. Taylor.
I don't actually remember. I met both of them on the same day in their home.
Mr. Jenner.
On the same occasion?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Had you had any information about them prior to the time you met them?
Mr. Taylor.
Yes; I had.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, when was it you met them?
Mr. Taylor.
I believe it was in September 1962.
Mr. Jenner.
Was this a prearranged meeting, an accidental meeting, or was it a purposeful meeting?
Mr. Taylor.
It was prearranged.
Mr. Jenner.
Prearranged. All right. We'll get to the purpose in a moment, if we can defer that for a bit.
Would you tell us the circumstances, persons involved also, that led to your becoming acquainted in advance with something about the Oswalds and which led up to the occasion when, you met them, as you have now indicated?
Mr. Taylor.
All right.
