It seems that Oswald, or one of the "professional Oswalds", was ordered to take this pilgrim's journey to show his true "Communist" colors. Yet another example of intelligence agencies laying it on too thick. The KGB probably had a good laugh on hearing this part of Oswald's story. There has long been an assumption that LHO flew to Helsinki after landing at Southampton, but the British could not find the manifest.

You could also contact his sister, Margaret Ann Linn or his 1st wife, Linda Irene Driscoll Steenbarger, both still living. Maybe he reported his and/or his mother's experience to them. lzambenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325688076032877783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245944348321146643.post-73070544860580146962021-05-20T11:55:55.024-07:002021-05-20T11:55:55.024-07:00Yes, I too tried to contact Mrs. Steenbarger and h...Yes, I too tried to contact Mrs. Steenbarger and her son, and missed her son, a Dayton Community College teacher by a few months. I also contacted MacGuire AFB to see if they have the MATs manifests, but they no longer have them. Fortunately, Professor David Montague, who was with the HSCA and wrote the Steenbarger memo - requesting further investigation, will be at the CAPA conference this November 19-21 at the Dallas Sheraton - and I will question him about it. Thank you for your followup as well.

Are there any updates since your two 2014 articles on this subject? Anything about the MATS flight? I have done genealogical research on her and her son, David. Sadly, I discovered she died Aug 29, 2008 in Muncie, IN. She and her husb, Maurice, have a findagrave memorials. I had hoped to contact her son, David, about his recollections of the Oswald encounter, but found he had also died, age 56, in Dayton, OH on Sep 9, 2008 - just 11 days after she died! He does have a sister, Margaret, who is 13 years his junior, and is still living. I made him a findagrave memorial today and have put photos on both memorials. I have not found a record of the MATS flight on Ancestry.com, but it could have been destroyed, who knows. I did find a record of another flight she and her son, David, took to France in '55 when he was 4. It was on a carrier I hadn't heard of before - it was not MATS. Next to her name on the manifest it listed her husband, Maurice, and his government rank, GS-9, in parenthesis. He was not a passenger - they were probably going to visit him in France. Here are their findagrave memorials.:<br /> <br />https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/94362303/lola-louise-steenbarger<br />https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/226919179/david-m-steenbargerlzambenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17325688076032877783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1245944348321146643.post-70754678429277769192020-12-22T21:41:31.631-08:002020-12-22T21:41:31.631-08:00
