How old was Bukowski when he started sending stuff in for publication?

Not when he first was published. I'm sure I could figure this out myself but I thought I'd ask anyhow.
 
Buk was first published with a letter to the editor, while in college (although this does not really count). He graduated High School in 1939 and was first REALLY published in 1944 (Story Magazine), so I would think that he probably started some time in 1940-43 (Buk would have been 20-23 years old), but there is someone here that has researched the timeline and has the answer (it may also be something that hee mentioned in poems and stories, but I do not recall)..

Does anyone here have a copy of that letter to the editor from LA College? If so, a scan would be VERY cool!

yes, indeed it would be very cool to get that scan.
also, I'm wondering if it would be possible for us to get a copy of Cubby Hole up here? that would be nice. I'm dreaming though.
