My father had a wonderful time at “Rose Poly” as it was called then.

As children, we never tired of hearing of his experiences in college. We used to ask him over and over again, even into adulthood, to tell us of his experiences.

He did not live on campus...I don’t even know if there were dorms then...It never occurred to us to ask...He went home every night to my grandparents home in Terra Haute. I believe he said he took a trolley.

There were never doubts in our minds about attending college. It was very important to us listening to my father.

All four of us graduated from college and went on to get our Masters. I am not bragging…I am only saying it is just truly amazing if you have the right parents.
