Nicholas Warr found a good job at a plywood mill after dropping out from the University of Oregon. He bought a Corvette and enjoyed being young and single. But he reached a crossroads while driving in Eugene, Oregon, early one Sunday morning in 1966.
He saw a dazed co-worker wandering the streets and made a decision.
“I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life working at a plywood mill,” he said.

SCPO Morris Ramsey "Go to College, Make A's and B's and I'll Pay for It. Make C's and D's You'll Pay for It or Join the Military" My Father to Me. "I'll Join the Military" Me. "I was Kidding" Dad. "I'm Not". I sucked in School. I was tired of School and wanted to do something else. Tried to Join the Army but they turned Me down for being Too Skinny. Went across the Hall and Signed Up with the Navy. Unfortunately My Logic was Flawed. What did the Navy do with Me Lots of Times after Boot Camp, "Here You Go Back to School Again" CTO with NECs in Telecommunications Management, ADP, Tactical Intelligence, 3M System Supervisor, Damage Control.
