He attended grades one through eight at Wheeler District #42, a country school, and then graduated from Americus High School in 1949. Following high school, he enrolled at Kansas State Teachers College, now Emporia State University, and attended one year before going to work at Cessna Aircraft in Wichita. During that time, he was drafted into the U.S. Army where he served in the Korean Conflict as a combat medic in the Thirty Second Regiment Infantry Division, earning two bronze stars for his actions. On July 6, 1953, while tending to the injured during the battle on Pork Chop Hill he was wounded and later received a Purple Heart.
