Mr. Sloan was born September 29, 1924 in Hall County Georgia, (near Gainesville) the seventh child of Jorney Cooper (J. C.) Sloan and Mary Adaline (Addie) Williams Sloan. The family lived in an area called Poplar Springs, just south of Gainesville, but moved into the City of Gainesville when L. C. was about 4 or 5. He attended Main Street Elementary School, and in June 1941 graduated from Gainesville High. He worked for a while with Western Union in Gainesville, transferring in January 1942, to Western Union's office in Charleston, S. C. Later, he left Western Union and went to work as a teletype operator in the Communications Office of the Charleston Navy Yard. While in Charleston he met and fell in love with his future wife, Mildred Moskow, of Andrews, S. C., who was a teletype operator in the 6th Naval District Headquarters, which had taken over the Fort Sumter Hotel. In April, 1943, L. C. was drafted into the Army, being assigned to the 566th Signal Company of the 66th Infantry (Panther) Division, in Camp Blanding, Florida. The division later moved to Camp Robinson, near Little Rock, Ark., then to Camp Rucker, near Dothan, Ala. Along the way L. C. advanced from private to Technician Grade 3, in charge of "Telephone & Telegraph" Sections operations. The 66th Division went overseas and served in operations around Lorient and St. Nazaire. After hostilities ended, he served in occupation forces headquartered in Salzburg, Austria. He was discharged in April, 1946. L. C. and Mildred were married on July 31, 1946; and he went to work for International Paper Company (Georgetown Paper Mill) on August 12, 1946, as a payroll Clerk.
