Today in history we worked on our project. Jenna found pictures of Jack Ruby shooting Oswald. Also, Taylor said that Jack Ruby shot Oswald not because he wanted to be a hero, but he wanted to do it for Jackie Kennedy, JFK's wife.Oswald moved to the Soviet Union in October of 1959, when he was 19 years old. He knew Russian and saved $1,500 from his Marine Corps salary. He was discharged early because he said that he had an injured mother. When he got to the Soviet Union, he met Marina, his future wife. They married in April of 1961, less than six weeks after meeting each other. They had their first child, June, in Feb. of 1962. They moved back to the U.S. in 1962 and Marina couldn't speak English. Oswald wouldn't teach her because he didn't want her to forget it, and he started to beat her.Oswald attempted to assassinate Major General Edwin Walker, but failed. I also learned where Oswald bought the rifle that he used to kill JFK.
