School Story:
After a year in Saudi Arabia, our family stopped in Ridgewood on our way to Billings, Montana, where I finished high school. I graduated from the University of Montana, Missoula, then enlisted in the US Army. After OCS in 1967, my entire OCS class went to Viet Nam, except for me and one other guy. I had orders for Viet Nam, but some nameless bureaucrat decided I should spend my active duty at the Engineer School at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. I left the reserves years later as a Lt Colonel.
