Wade, Robert A.
In the hot and humid weather soldiers consume "tons of salt tablets" and drink from "Lister bags" since there is no potable water. The hangar has women mechanics and an armed guard. He mentions Griff Williams and Charles Read, Jr. His best friend at Harding was killed in one of two crashes there: Phil Peterson, a supporter of San Diego State College. He would like Dorothy Ferguson to put him on the Aztec News Letter list.
