Besides being valedictorian of his high school, he was honored as FFA Star Farmer of Illinois in 1967. (Number 1 vocational agricultural student of 16,000 in the State of Illinois.) He served as State Vice President of the Illinois Junior Academy of Science. He received the prestigious Presidential silver plate and scholarship as National 4-H Citizenship Winner in 1969. He used the scholarship money in 1970 for a world tour “Semester at Sea” with Chapman College.
Bruckner earned a BA and MA from Trinity College(CT) in 1971 in History and Political Science. In 1973 he was awarded a Juris Doctorate from the College of William and Mary.
He entered private law practice in Dixon, IL, (Ronald Reagan’s hometown), where he handled over 600 divorces, 500 bankruptcies, 400 real estate transactions,1000 collection actions and numerous personal injury work and workman compensation cases. In 1981 he volunteered for the United States Army Reserve earning a rank of Major in the JAG corps.
In 1986 he wrote “American Goulag” explaining why reforms are necessary to correct our barbaric penal system. Don’t Give Up! is a distillation of his law practice, two world cruises, and his experience in running for Illinois LT. Governor and State Representative. Retiring at 52 years of age, he managed his tax lien certificate business, real estate, and other business enterprises.
