Description

Stoll (Class of 1941) writes on a Victory Mail photographic target form that Lauren Post would remember his face but probably not his name from his time at San Diego State College. He relates landing at Guadalcanal in the infantry, claims victory, and says what a "thrill" it is to "hear from the home folks" in the Aztec News Letter.
