D:

Biography: Garth and Donnan are very different in type, characteristics, talents, and tastes, although they are twins. Garth is very husky but entirely muscular while Donnan is slender and wiry. The boys were tutored by their mother until they reached the seventh grade. In 1920 when they were about thirteen years old, the family went to Ireland. The boys studied while on the British rsles but perhaps their greatest education then was obtained through travel. They returned to the United States after a time, to finish high school and enter the University of California. Garth majored in Anthropology and Donnan's maior was European History and 18^th Century England. In 1937 at the close of their junior year at college, the famlly again made a trip to Ireland, this time settling at Donegal to reside for a time. The boys went over to France for a trip. On their return home they finished college. Garth, who had done very well in Anthropology had a sudden urge to become a cowboy. He had often visited ranches in Mexico and the life appealed to him. He punched cattle for a year and a half on the Bell Ranch near Tucumcari, New Mexico. Then a family friend opened a gold mine in California, and he worked there for a year. When the war broke out, immediately following Pearl Harbor, he was inducted and sent to Hawaii, later across to battle areas. For a time he was S/Sgt. and in charge of interns and prisoners of war. He was in Col. D'Elescu's flrst class in Commando training and did very well. Now he is back in this country and is training boys in judo, etc., at Port Sam Houston. He finds military life interesting but expects to turn to ranching after the war. He is truly an athlete and at college excelled in wrestling. He speaks Spanish fluently.
