Description

Vol. II No. 2 ……. Cover: No stranger to Marine recruiters is blue-blooded “Buddy,” English bulldog mascot of the Cleveland District Headquarters Station. Pictures of Buddy’s presentation were published in the January issue of the Marine Recruiter. The cover photograph was taken by a Cleveland, Ohio, Press staff photographer. That’s a chrome-plated Marine Corps helmet Buddy is wearing. Buddy was only six weeks old when the picture was snapped and filling the helmet bored him a bit. Buddy, owned by Sgt. Charles L. “Stoney” Craig, is a son of Vardona Lord George Again, national Champion in the best of breed class of the American Kennel Club. Since the publication of the picture on the Marine Recruiter cover in the nation’s press, the Cleveland office has had numerous offers to purchase Buddy. Some offers were as high as $150.
