Title: Representative Les AuCoin writing for the US Army
Description: A young Les AuCoin sits at a typewriter in his Army uniform. In typed notes about the image, Representative AuCoin writes: "As a nineteen-year-old buck private, I wrote a sports column for the Fort Campbell, Kentucky newspaper. For extra money, I started writing promotional stories for off-duty work. This led me to a match at Hopkinsville, where an enraged female wrestler chased me out of the ring to the locker room. The audience roared approval when she hurled folding chairs at me." This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. The original photo remains with the AuCoin family.
