More information

Stephen F. Daniel graduated from William Chrisman High School in 1941. He was employed at the Lake City Ordinance Plant testing and developing small-caliber ammunition for the US Army.

He was selected for the Army Specialized Training Program (A.S.T.P.) and studied electrical engineering at Washington State College. At the end of his third academic term, in March 1944, the ASTP program was dismantled and he was sent to Camp Roberts for basic training.
