Hazel Nevis writes from Glendale to her son Arnie at Yale University in Army Air Force Technical Training Command. Arnie was infamous in our family lore for his standing up to his father at age 16 about not going into the family business — Bill Nevis ran an accounting company and a side business of printing, and he expected his sons to join the company, which Leonard later did. Here we see that he had decided to become a Presbyterian minister after the war.
Caltech classmate Don Pickrell writes from Camp Crowder, Missouri, to Arnie at Yale University. Don is in the signal corps.
