I entered in 1938. Left to work building aircraft engines in Buffalo. Went into the Air Force and came back for a semester in 1946. Played all sports. Transferred to the U. Of Miami. Grad. 1948, and coached tennis. I have fond memories. I did some teaching. I see your sports do not include tennis or table tennis. Our teams were pretty good back then. John
