  MacArthur's COIC Office Staff

(February 1945)

My father's unit, "COIC" (COMBAT OPERATIONS INTELLIGENCE CENTER) in 1945. Regards to Captain Casper Weinberger (later US Secretary for Defence) who is pictured front row, third from the right.  Casper was the only one that Dad had a reunion with, and they took a while jawboning old times, somewhat disappointing a number of celebrity  who had to take a back seat to the Ol' War Buddies System.   Ed Callaghan (third from the right in the back row, are you still alive?) Indeed, gentlemen, how many of you are still with us? Dad died July '98.

COIC - COMBAT (Rear) Geo Walker, Arci Bianchi, Al Yoki, John Narron, Frank Shaeffer, Ed Ivers, Ed Callaghan, Oscar Davis, Gordon Kastler
