William's Story
College
After spending two years in the Army (Germany)I worked for fourteen years as an accountant. From 1972 through 1976, I attended law school at night (while still working a full time day job).

In retrospect, my most profound thoughts about my military experience can be summed up in one sentence: I never had to fire a shot in anger. Many of my comrades served in Vietnam and I am eternally grateful that to the best of my knowledge, each and every one of them made it back home safely.
