A public golf course was just two blocks away. He and his buddies ran across the four-lane busy Western avenue in the middle of the block by running between an opening of the cars and trucks to climb the fence and sled down the slopes in the winter snows. We knew the risks. No one got hurt.
After graduating HS he went to a Christian College in Wisconsin and then turned the responsibility of his life over to the US Army. He was trained as a Morse code Operator, transferred to Germany where he joined a Long Range Recon Patrol. Driving a '49 Volkswagen into Berlin with a few friends, he got a personal look at the Brandenburg Gate being walled-off to keep those in the East from enjoying the freedoms of the West. He was able to attend the October Fest in Munich. He spent several days in Switzerland and a trip to Stockholm, Sweden, to visit his mother's uncle.
After his discharge, he moved to Atlanta, Ga, married a southern gal and moved to Florida to start a career in Retail Management with transfers to Grand Rapids Michigan. He moved to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to attend a two-year Bible school.
After his full retirement from a career with the City of Tulsa, he drove a school bus part-time. Try that some time. The retirement provided time to write, a hobby enjoyed throughout his life.voir moins
