LHO telephoned around 1 PM on Friday, October 4th. Ruth quickly handed Marina the phone and Marina asked why he had never called. LHO asked to come to visit for the weekend. Marina asked Ruth and Ruth approved. Then LHO asked if Ruth could come pick him up in Dallas. Marina replied, “No, Ruth can’t come and pick you up; Ruth was at Parkland Hospital this morning donating blood, and she shouldn’t be driving now.” (The exchange for Marina's care at Parkland was Ruth's donations of blood.)
