William's Story
When I graduated from St Marys they did not have a high school so I went to Romulus high for my 9th grade. In the summer of 1950 I went to live with my father in St Louis. I went to Hadley Tech high for 6 weeks and then stopped attending as I was bored. I did several jobs Soda Jerk,Glasser Drugs Clayton Mo and then delivery at Famous Barr and Stix Barr Fuller in St Louis advancing to a truck driver.
I married at 18 and had 2 childern with Jeanne Thompson Capen. We seperated after 3 years and I went to Los Angeles where I went to work for the Post Office as a carrier.
