While attending college he resided at the YMCA, and worked various jobs to meet expences.
    He was a member of the Army ROTC, and was called to active duty. Prior to induction , they were allowed to go home for a visit, and while at home the WW I ended, and the call to active duty was cancelled.
    After graduation he took a job with an Architectual Firm in Detroit, MI. Apparently the big city life was not what a country boy wanted so he soon moved back to North Dakota and was employed by North Dakota State Highway Department.
