Originally I lived in Belmont which is another suburb of Dayton. Then we moved to Oakwood. My father was subdividing a farm. I went to Oakwood elementary school, Oakwood junior high, and Oakwood. High school and I went to college at Ohio State.

I was pretty much of a good kid. I was a paperboy; I carried the newspapers. I think I worked on the Dayton paper. Ultimately I worked my way up to the Paper route in Hills and Dales, which is an extremely high class neighborhood of Dayton. The paper subsidized me because it was a long route. I continued delivering papers until I graduated from high school.
