Just graduated from HS, sweet summer to get ready for college.

Spent 2 yrs at college and wanted out, 2 months after last class got my induction letter.

Went to the induction center with 100 guys, passed written and physical but got a 1Y at the last station. 1Y is a we will only take you if war is on our ground in the next yr after which you will get a 4F. I had too many broken bones, most notable was a fractured skull at age 13 in a car accident.

I was one of 4 who left that induction center without boarding that bus outside, two months later I moved to Vail, CO to pursue my ski racing career
