Mosho, George D. Letter Collection, 1975-1978

The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina

George D. Mosho is a member of the Class of 1977. This collection contains letters written to Mosho from his father, George Mosho, throughout his time at The Citadel.

Mr. Mosho worked as a night shift janitor at Westinghouse Electric Corporation and while doing rounds each night, he would draw orthographic sketches of all the large machinery on the work floor, creating a catalog of all the machines housed in Westinghouse. Once seen by the engineering staff, the staff arranged for Mr. Mosho to attend night school to become an Industrial Engineer. When George let for The Citadel, Mr. Mosho wrote letters to him during lunch time, written on graph paper or stenographer tablet sheets, and as George responded with stories of the crazy happenings at The Citadel, including cockroaches that seemed to be everywhere, Mr. Mosho created a comic duo called "Salt and Pepper", who were cockroaches, and would often draw the two on letters sent to George.
