MEETING LEE HARVEY OSWALD AND THE SEARCH FOR EMPLOYMENT Colleague Paul Gregory. This segment traces the relationship back to June 1962, when Pete Gregory first met Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald, seeking employment that utilized his Russian language skills rather than manual labor, was referred to Pete for a language evaluation. Pete wrote a letter vouching for Oswald's fluency, though he noted Oswald was not a native speaker. Oswaldwas bitter about working as a welder for low wages and hoped to avoid the "blue-collar trap." The segment also introduces the first meeting between Paul and the Oswalds at Robert Oswald's home, where Paul observed Lee's poor grammar despite his fluency. To help the couple financially, the Gregorys arranged for Paul to take Russian conversation lessons from Marina Oswald. NUMBER 2
