Consider that Dirk Kunert was born in 1941 and Volkmar Schmidt and Ruth Paine
were both nine years older than Kunert ....
...and that Kunert supposedly did not arrive in the U.S. until September, 11 1963, begging the question, how many
young German fellows named Dirk, did Ruth Paine encounter in the Dallas area, 1962 - 1963?

...Mr. JENNER - You had no conversations, no letters, no contact whatsoever with them either before or after this party?
Mrs. PAINE - That is correct, no contact whatsoever before or after. There was a roommate of Everett's. Dirk, I think, I forget the name.
Mr. JENNER - Are you attempting to recall his first name or his last name?
Mrs. PAINE - His first name. I may be wrong. It was a young German fellow.
Mr. JENNER - Schmidt?
Mrs. PAINE - Do you know the first name?
Mr. JENNER - No, I don't recall the first name.
Mrs. PAINE - And he had two roommates, so that is two other single men, and I don't recall their names.
Mr. JENNER - Was each of them there?
Mrs. PAINE - They were both there.
Mr. JENNER - There were two roommates.
Mrs. PAINE - Two roommates and they were both present at the party. I should remember their names but I don't.
Mr. JENNER - All right. ..

Remind me of the rules explaining Ruth Paine testimony. If it is disagreeable, isn't it explained away as
simple mistakes, or....she was confused, or....there is no reason to not give Ruth the benefit of the doubt....or?

TESTIMONY OF EVERETT D. GLOVER
The testimony of Everett D. Clover was taken at 11 a.m., on March 24, 1964,
....Mr. JENNER. And you remarried when?
Mr. GLOVER. I remarried August the 26th of this same year, 1963.
Mr. JENNER. And remained in the same quarters, did you?
Mr. GLOVER. No; I moved about April 20 to 5723 Southwestern Boulevard after having sold the house at 4449 Potomac, which I owned, and made the divorce settlement.
Then I moved to 5723 Southwestern Boulevard where I rented a house with two colleagues of mine where I worked, who were all unattached, since I had to move from 4449 Potomac. One moved in on December 1, 1962, and another one on January 1, 1963.
Mr. JENNER. Now when you and your wife separated, that is when she went to Pennsylvania, Hershey, Pa., with her son for this period, did anyone join you in your quarters as roommates or persons living with you?
Mr. GLOVER. Well, these are the people I just referred to. One man, Richard L. Pierce, who works with me in the same section of my laboratory, joined me December 1, of 1962, and the second man, Volkmar Schmidt, who came from Germany and worked with the company as a geologist, came to live with me approximately January 1.
It was an arrangement we tried out to see if there would be mutual satisfaction.
Mr. JENNER. Do you have a German derivation?
Mr. GLOVER. I do not.
Mr. JENNER. What is yours?...
