Default Philosophy BA December 1980, History May 1981. University of Nevada, Reno..

Had earned two BAs at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) and had started there in the Fall of 1976 on a very small Memorial Scholarship in the name of Michelle Mitchell. She was the daughter of my 1975-1976 Earl Wooster HS remedial English teacher-- Mrs. Barbara Mitchell.

My mother had me when she had the flu so I had a lot of developmental problems. I had not done all that well in high school but Mrs. Barbara Mitchell had seen something in me and turned me around and got me hooked on books.

I did very well in college at UNR and would have done even better if not for a very bone-headed streak. And not for NOTHING.

Had gone to BYU Law School in late August of 1982 on a Merit Scholarship that covered the tuition so that I was paying the same as a Mormon even though I was and am a Lutheran. I dropped out falling in love with law librarianship at BYU. But not much fondness of the practice of law.
