He was the first born child of Lewis B. Melvin of Northport, NE and Emma M. Nelson Melvin of Brookeville, KS. In the fall of 1936, the family moved to Angora, NE where his father operated a small grocery. In the spring of 1939, Dale’s family returned to the farm. He attended the Rocky Ridge School just west of the family farm. He graduated Bridgeport High School in 1949 and taught for a year at the Morrill County Rural School District #44, just east of Bayard. Dale joined the United States Air Force in January, 1951. He was stationed at FE Warren Air Force Base, Cheyenne, WY, where he entered the aviation cadet program in 1952. He attended flying school at Malden AFB in Missouri and graduated with Pilot Class 53 D from Webb AFB, Big Springs, TX. After further training at Moody AFB, GA and Shaw AFB, SC, he flew with the 45th Reconnaissance Squadron in the Korean War. Following his service in Korea, he flew with the 18th Reconnaissance Squadron, Shaw AFB, SC. During his time with the Air Force, he flew some of the most advanced jet aircraft of the day. His service ended in 1956. Dale then attended the University of Nebraska Lincoln, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology in 1959. He taught math and science at Bridgeport Schools from 1959-1964.
