Writing to friends the „former Lion 175-pounder revealed, that when he's not dive bombing the remaining 'Jap-held atolls in the Marshalls, he's devoting his leis ure hours to oil painting. He paints Pacific Isand scenes on the surface of cat's eyes which he picks up no the beach. Few of these opalescent gems-are larg er than a nickel coin,' and each painting requires ~a minimum of three hours. The 22-year-old dive bomber won both intramural and varsity boxing recognition as an under graduate at Penn State.
