His wife is a woman called also Ruth.
Ruth Forbes Payne Young.
So she had a lot of husbands in the middle there.
But she was a Forbes.
So right away, we're talking money, old money, old American money.
And Ruth Payne is her daughter-in-law because she married Michael Payne, et cetera, et cetera.
It's all very complicated, but anyway, it's the same family.
Ruth Payne wants to study Russian.
That's what she says anyway.
And in order to study Russian, why here's this family, this Russian family or an American Russian family.
There's Lee Oswald who had been in Russia.
He had defected to Russia and went across from Finland into Russia and defected and then came back to the United States.
So he defected to Russia and then he left Russia and came to the United States with a Russian-born wife, Marina, who was the niece of a military intelligence colonel in the Russian army.
Okay.
He's mobbed up, as you might say.
So they come back to Dallas.
First, he's in New Orleans, where he meets David Ferry, Jack Martin, Guy Bannister, all these guys.
He's involved with all of that.
Now he's in Dallas, and in Dallas, he needs a job.
So what happens is he's hanging out with Russian expats in Dallas, which there were a lot because of the oil industry.
