Research Materials from Volumes One & Two
Lee Oswald attendance record at Beauregard Jr. High
1953-54 shows 5 days absence and 179 remaining school days in that year. Oswald was not enrolled for the full school year.
1954-1955 shows 12 days absense and 168 remaining school days in that year. Oswald was enrolled for the full year, so this latter figure also equals days attendance.
It became necessary to go into the Beauregard records and to understand them. This was because other's had been representing the records as proving that Oswald had 179 days attendance at Beauregard in 1953-54, which in turn meant "overlap" with PS 44 in New York. This representation of the records had the single purpose of adding weight to the theory contained in the book "Harvey & Lee". That is, that "Harvey" was attending one school at the same time as "Lee" was attending another. Unfortunately for them, the facts do not agree. "Harvey" is not a creature of the CIA, but of the research equivelant of "creative accounting".
Edwin Ekdahl had Worked in a Lutheran Childrens Mission in New York
This story is from the Gettysburg Times, July 17, 1919 concerning the Society of Inner Mission and Rescue Work which operated as a charity run by the Lutheran Church.
The full story can be pieced together from the ongoing newspaper accounts.
In sum, this particular act of "charity" consisted of rounding up kids from impoverished inner-city families and sending them to the parishioners of a Lutheran Church in rural Gettysburg in what was supposed to be a holiday for the children. In reality, the kids were being used as cheap labor on farms. There is also a suggestion that some children may have been abused in some way on past "holidays" insofar as girls were popular, but in short supply due to some mothers refusing permission for them to go.
It is well known that Marguerite had placed her children in a Lutheran Orphanage in New Orleans. Given that Ekdahl had worked in this field for the same church, it seems feasible that the New Orleans orphanage played some role in them having met. Oddly, how they met is missing from the mountains of information gathered by the authorities.
