In part 1 of dad's biography, we go back to his childhood in St. Louis and some very formative events in his life including a stint in a Catholic orphanage, a bicycle accident, subordination in the ROTC that may have saved his life, but came at the cost of caring for a goat, and the time he defied his athletic director in college and instead of spending the athletic department's budget on new blazers for the athletes, he spent it all to hire Ike and Tina Turner to play a concert.
