I always earned an A for content but an F for spelling and punctuation. I wanted to leave that small town and travel especially to foreign countries. I read adventure stories by Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, Robert Ruork, and Rudyard Kipling.
After high school I enrolled at the University of Oregon where I believed I would start to experience a fuller more interesting way of life. To satisfy my science requirement I took an interesting geology course. The instructor recommended that I transfer to UCLA because of its outstanding geology department. My parents wanted me to study law. But that meant tied to a desk job. I never regretted choosing geology. It gave me a life filled with remarkable experiences and memories.view less
