Dennis's Story
Life
While I did not graduate from White Pine, I still consider it "my school." I moved to Salt Lake City my senior year and graduated from Granite High School. I then went on to the University of Utah, earning a degree in Molecular & Genetic Biology. I was drafted upon graduation, and joined the Air Force instead of going into the Army.

College
Graduated from the University of Utah in 1969 with a B.S. in Molecular & Genetic Biology (the degree has since been merged into the Biological Sciences). Drafted, spent 4 years in the Air Force (my way of avoiding the draft!), then returned to the University of Utah to earn a Ph. D. in Chemistry.
