I decided to quit college before completing my Freshman year.
Derry counseled me to not do it. She said that a college degree was a key that opened many doors that would not be open to you without a college degree. 

• I didn't quit and completed my Freshman year. After then spending 3 years in the Army,  I went back to school and got a degree.
• Derry and I were not only brother and sister but best friends. When I told her that Mary Bowers, with whom she shared an appartment, and I were going to get married she said-- Oh, no Dard--- you break up with your girlfriends and I don't want Mary to be hurt. Well, Mary and I got married and we will celebrate our 62nd anniversary this month, December 2021 and we were close to Derry and Hank thru all the years.
