Today we researched our JFK subjects. I started taking notes on Lee Harvey Oswald. I learned he used to live in the Soviet Union. He was born October 18, 1939 in New Orleans, Louisiana. His father was Robert Edward Lee Oswald Sr and he died two months before Lee Harvey Oswald was born. He had two older brothers, Robert Jr. and half brother John Pic. He had a step father from 1945-1948, his name was Edwin Adolph Ekdahl. Before Lee was 18, he had lived in 22 different homes and went to 12 different schools.His mother placed him and his brothers in foster care when he was three for 13 months in 1942-1943 because she was too poor to take care of them. When he was 14 he moved in with his half brother John and his wife in New York City. They were all asked to leave when Lee allegedly threatened John's wife wutg a knife and hit his mother. The after math of that ordered Lee a three week court- ordered stay for psychiatric assessment in The Youth House.
