Oliver Quayle

Listen to the interview with Jacqueline Quayle:

Jacqueline: "He [Oliver Quayle ] graduated in ‘42. He had applied to the Navy and was accepted…. He had six weeks between the time he graduated and the time his orders arrived, telling him to report to Topliff Hall at Dartmouth College for his indoctrination into the Navy.  So he had to be one of the first members to go through that class. The indoctrination lasted three months, so they were called "ninety-day wonders" and when he graduated ninety days later he was an ensign in the Navy and was sent immediately to Charleston, South Carolina."
