Prior to that time where did you reside?

And for how long did you reside there?

Oh, since 1957, I guess.

Now, it may be late in 1956.
Mr. Jenner.
What is your business or occupation or profession?
Mr. Voshinin.
I am a professional engineer.
Mr. Jenner.
And by whom are you employed, or are you an independent engineer?

At this time I am employed by Mullen & Powell, consulting engineers.

Mr. Jenner.
And when were you naturalized?
Mr. Voshinin.
I have to see [looking through billfold]. It must be 1954 I'm sorry to delay you.
Mr. Jenner.
Oh, take it easy. We have plenty of time. Don't let it worry you a bit.
(The witness hands card to Mr. Jenner.)
Mr. Jenner.
[Reading] March 7, 1955?
Mr. Voshinin.
Yeah.
Mr. Jenner.
In the light of that, Mr. Voshinin, in what country were you born?
Mr. Voshinin.
I was born in Russia before the Revolution.
Mr. Jenner.
And how old a man are you?
Mr. Voshinin.
I was born in 1906--so, therefore, I am 58 years old.
Mr. Jenner.
You are 1 year older than I am. I'll be 57 next June. And did you alone, or your family, come directly to the United States from Russia?
Mr. Voshinin.
No, sir.
Mr. Jenner.
Without detail, tell us how you came to this country and approximately when.
Mr. Voshinin.
Well, we were living in southern Russia, which was in the hands of the White Army, and when the Communists advanced, since we were close, our family left from a port on the Black Sea.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, when was this?
Mr. Voshinin.
That was in 1920 early in 1920.
Mr. Jenner.
You were then 14 years old, approximately?
Mr. Voshinin.
Thirteen--yeah.
Me and my mother we left first for Greece and then to Turkey, and my father left directly to Turkey and we met in Constantinople, now Istanbul in Turkey.
Mr. Jenner.
Uh-huh.
Mr. Voshinin.
And, after that, we altogether went to Yugoslavia where we lived up to this last war.
Mr. Jenner.
