Mr. Jenner.

She was born December 21, 1933?

Mr. Pic.

It may be 22, sir; I never remember. I am giving sworn testimony, I don't want to lie about my wife's birthday; it is either the 21st or 22d, I am pretty sure it is the 21st.

Mr. Jenner.

You are stationed where at present?

Mr. Pic.

I am attached to Wilford Hall, USAF Hospital, Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Tex.

Mr. Jenner.

Do you--what is your particular assignment?

Mr. Pic.

I am NCOIC, Special Procedures Branch, Department of Pathology, Wilford Hall Hospital. I have had this job since the 10th of February this year, and my other ones, I had another job when I talked to the Secret Service if you would be interested in that.

Mr. Jenner.

How long have you been at Lackland?

Mr. Pic.

I have been there since August 1962, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

My information is you were born in New Orleans on January 17, 1932?

Mr. Pic.

That is correct, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

You entered the Coast Guard.

Mr. Pic.

It was either 25 or 26 January 1950, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And you were then 18 years of age?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

And that was where?

Mr. Pic.

I processed my enlistment in Fort Worth. I was sworn into the Coast Guard in Dallas, Tex.

Mr. Jenner.

I think it might be well if we had your service history all in one spot so you go ahead and for my benefit speak a little .more slowly so I can absorb it.

Mr. Pic.

All right, sir. Approximately 26 January 1950, enlisted in Coast Guard in Dallas, Tex.; from January 1950 until May 1950, I was in boot camp at U.S. Coast Guard Training Station, Cape May, N.J. In May 1950 until January 1951, I was attached to U.S. Coast Guard cutter Rockaway. January 1951 until approximately June 1951 was stationed at U.S. Coast Guard Training Station, Groton, Conn. From June 1951 until January 1952, I was stationed at U.S. Coast Guard Base, St. George, Staten Island, N.Y.

February 1953 until September 1953, I was stationed aboard the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Firebush.

Mr. Jenner.

Were you at sea?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir; this was classified as sea duty. It was really a buoy tender.

Mr. Jenner.

In what area?

Mr. Pic.

New York area, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

Were you on ship all the time during that period?

Mr. Pic.

We would go out a day, come back the next; back and forth.

Mr. Jenner.

What I am really getting at is when you were ashore were you home?

Mr. Pic.

Yes, sir; I went home the minute I got off the ship.

Mr. Jenner.

OK.

Mr. Pic.

September 1953 until April 1954 these months I am pretty sure, I am certain are OK.

Mr. Jenner.

That is all right.

Mr. Pic.

I was stationed at U.S. Naval Hospital, Portsmouth, Va. My address when I lived there was, for 3 months we lived with my sister-in-law in Norfolk.

Mr. Jenner.

Name her, please.

Mr. Pic.

Mrs. Emma Parrish, I believe.

Mr. Jenner.

That was your wife's sister?

Mr. Pic.

That is correct, sir. Then in January of 1954 we moved over to Portsmouth, Va., 1234 Holliday Street.
April 1954 for about 2, 3 weeks, I was then stationed again at St. George, Staten Island, and I received orders through the Coast Guard cutter Halfmoon, and I was on the Coast Guard cutter Halfmoon until January 1956.
