Comments
Drawn by an amateur artist, the picture above is part of a rare collection of 10 Tibetan pencil drawings in the DePauw University permanent art collection. Created by young men in their 20s and 30s at Camp Hale in Leadville, Colorado, they were trained to work as radio operators and members of small guerrilla teams with the purpose of returning to Tibet for clandestine operations. Bruce Walker '53 was one of the CIA instructors at Camp Hale.
