I quit college so fast I didn't even clean out my locker.
I started radio in 1950 on the Lone Ranger radio program, a dramatic show that emanated from Detroit when I was 18 years old and just beginning college. I did that for a couple of years.
Before I left to go to college, I was living in Orange County, Anaheim Hills. And prior to that, I was in Long Beach.

In college, I was an education major and qualified for several jobs. But the fame that came with the Olympic medals was too threatening to many people.
I was going to be a doctor since I was three, so I was pre-med in college. Everything I did, every class I took, pointed toward the 'holy M.D.' Friends were taking wine-tasting classes, studying human sexuality, or redefining their views of the world in poli-sci, and I was memorizing anatomy and crying over o-chem.
