the rank of ataff sergeant. The best ■
part of his army service, as he hap- '
pily recalls was tlie last two months,'
during whicli he acted as a lifeguard.
The date Steve best remembers,
tliough, is not the day of his discharge,
but April 28, 1945,w hen-—yep!—he
got married. Proud Papa Castura
(baby Diana is four and a half montiis |
old) and his attractive Georgie (he
met her in Washington, D. C.) have
turned one of the new Vets’ apart-1
ments into as cozy a little iiome as
you’ll find at Elon. j
Besides his family, sports in gen- j
eral are what Steve is most interested
in—swimming in particular, even
though he has letters in basketball,
baseball, and football. He doesn’t
have any pai'ticular dislikes.
