Caston, Charles
About what he has been doing, Caston can only say "one thing, that wing & a prayer business has a lot of truth in it, believe me." ("Coming in on a Wing and a Prayer" was the title of a 1943 song about a damaged plane.) He would appreciate the names and addresses of men from San Diego State College who are stationed in Hawaii. He adds the meaning of "Charlie" to Lauren Post's "slang list," as "Jap" (the Japanese enemy).
