neck.

and had been in Italy most of this time.  He was in the Clerical Department of 
the army and remained rather stationery.  He was living at Caserta where he 
had worked for several months.  Recently his work was moved to Naples, but 
he continued to live at Caserta which is only 20 miles from Naples.

School and attended Georgia Tech for 2 years.  He entered the service on
