DETL Dr. Dunn was born in Los Angeles, California where he attended school through his undergraduate college years. Those of you from Los Angeles may be interest- ed to know that he attended Alpine Elementary and Atwater Schools. Junior high schools were just becoming popular. It was possible to elect to stay in the eight year primary school or to change to the new junior high system. The latter is what he chose, and attended Washington Irving Junior High School as part of the first group to start school in the then not-quite-completed buildings. Upon graduation, he proceeded to John Marshall High School where he com- peted on the Gymnastics Team, earning his varisty letter and on the Debating Team, while pursuing a college-preparatory course. World War II commenced but Dr. Dunn started the University of Southern California in a pre-medicine course. He became old enough to enlist while in his first semester in Naval Reserve V-12, a training program. He was called into uniform and the members organized into companies and assigned to barracks, on July 1, 1943. He found time to again compete in gymnastics and earned two varsity letters. Completing the three years of pre-medicine, he was ordered to Naval Training Center, San Diego, where he served as a dental assistant in Naval Reserve V-6. In late 1944, Apprentice Seaman Dunn was ordered to the University of Min- nesota, School of Dentistry. In 1945, after one and one-quarter years in dental school, the war over, Naval Reserve V-12 was disestablished and inactive duty orders sent. Dr. Dunn in 1946 received his inactive duty commission as Ensign, HVP. Two years later, married just before starting his final academic quarter to the former Joanne Norton, he received his Lieutenant junior grade commission upon gradua- tion June 12, 1948. After taking his California State Dental Board Examination, he requested active duty orders and reported to the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, for duty. Other duty orders have sent him and his family to the island of Saipan, to Sangley Point, Philippines, Treasure Island-San Francisco, Mare Island, Moffett Field, USS Hancock CVA-19, and Washington, D.C. That family includes two sons aged 9 and 11, and a daughter, 7 who, together with Dr. and Mrs. Dunn live in the pleasant community of Bonita, near San Diego.

EDIC L LIEUTENANT SALOT was born in Irkhusk, Russia in 1934, the son of a Saudi Arabian chieftain and his Eurasian bride. At the age of three, Salot was smuggled out of the clutches of the Soviets following one of the bloody purges of this period. Residing in Berlin, the young lad's knowledge of six languages served him in good stead as one of the key agents for the O.S.S. during WW II. The close of the conflict found Salot a candidate for college at the age of 12. The following years were distinguished by brilliant achievements in theoretical physics, mathematics, and philosophy at the Universities of Oxford, Uppsala, Heidelberg, and Milan. Armed with PhD's in these disciplines, Salot became a top-ranking economic advisor to the President of Brazil, during this period, having access to important changes in the price of coffee beans, he was able to accumulate a fortune of several billion pesos. This money, placed in various Swiss banks, has allowed Salot fre- edom of movement and thought, as well as making him one of the world's great philanthropists. In addition, his continuing scientific work at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton has been of considerable importance. His Navy career began in 1963, when, on a business trip to San Diego, he was set upon by a group of men, bound with line and placed in a large bag. When he awoke, he was aboard the USS Galveston on her WESTPAC deployment. Having always had a passing interest in the healing arts, he struck for corpsman. By prodigious efforts he was able to advance in rate from SN to Medical Oflicer in less than six months. His future plans are indefinite, but include the study of the physical properties of bodies immersed in hot water. 147
