But I decided I wanted more education and I had to make a choice between starting law school, which was interesting to me, and going for a graduate degree in engineering.

I got called back into the Navy during the Korean War.
Then I came back and restarted at the UW that fall.

I didn't take very much part in activities on campus at that time.
