After UCHS graduation, attended Brandeis U. in Waltham, Ma. (Boston area.) Wonderful experiences: Eleanor Roosevelt and David Ben Gurion on campus, Joan Baez singing in Cambridge, Malcolm X speaking at Harvard, JFK rally in Boston Garden night before he won the '60 election. Watched Ted Williams at Fenway Park; Cousy, Russell and Celtics beating the Hawks. Civil Rights sit-ins, plus picketing and demonstrating on many other social issues. Often "too busy"(?) to study, had to attend summer school to graduate. (Poly. Sci.) |
Returned to STL, enrolled in Wash. U. Law School. Married Judy Freedman (UC'59). Didn't love the law, dropped out. Worked in Judy's father's clothing store while earning M.A. in Poly. Sci. at W.U. Decided to try teaching, trying to model greats: Grippi, Ehrlich, Kettelkamp et al. Almost took job at Hanley, but East St. Louis |
