Dr. Renatus Hartogs
Dr. Renatus Hartogs, staff member at Youth House, conducted the evaluation of Lee Oswald during his stay there. His recommendations are discussed in detail in chapter VII (pp. 379-380), and his deposition (Hartogs DE 1) provides professional assessment of Lee’s condition and circumstances, along with descriptions of Youth House from Evelyn Grace Strickman Siegel’s testimony and deposition.
Civil Air Patrol
Civil Air Patrol participation is documented through testimony from Edward Voebel, Frederick S. O’Sullivan, William E. Wulf, Bennierita Smith, Lillian Murret, Marilyn Dorothea Murret, and Marguerite Oswald. The evidence covers Lee’s activities, his reading habits (Edward Voebel noting Lee was not a “great reader” and read only “comic books and the normal things that kids read”), and his organizational involvement, with Lillian Murret’s testimony about the Sea Scouts likely representing a confusion with the Civil Air Patrol.
Military Service
Military service is documented through FBI reports (Folsom DE 1), commission exhibits (CE 239, 1961, 2205, 2239, 2240, 1873 series), and testimony from Marguerite Oswald, Robert Oswald, and Folsom himself. The evidence covers Lee’s units and duty stations (with abbreviations explained in CE 1961, pp. 3-5), his assignments, transfers (including to the newly built Ridglea West facility), and military records from the period of his service.
