World War II Letters - 12 June 1945 - Written by Stan Cooper





Stan is now a midshipman plebe at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

He fills his parents in on the details of his first forty-eight hours of adjusting to his new lifestyle.

He informs the family that "Pathe News took pictures of us fleet men being sworn in. In one 'take.' I am on the extreme right of the first row (without any hair too!)"

I tried looking for an actual copy of the film Stan was referring to with no luck. 

Stan also encourages his family with Bud to come visit him on a Sunday afternoon.
