Education in 1958 and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant and in 1962

earned a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology. There were no wars in 1962, but there was
a draft, so I ended up in Berlin, Germany, where a wall had just been built
through the middle of the city. As 2 . Lt., I was in charge of operations at
nd
“Checkpoint Charlie,” the crossover point on the wall between East and West
Berlin. For the past six years, I have been a volunteer at the National
Archives, restoring WWI records.
