BS '56
I went to the City College of New York because it had a good reputation. I enjoyed my time there. I've always been proud of my time at CCNY. I felt I did very well. I think it gave me an excellent background for what I ended up doing. After graduating, I thought about going into patent law, so I went to Brooklyn Law School and graduated. The day I graduated, I got an invitation from the United States Army, so I went into the army for two years. Fortunately, I was at an armory in Philadelphia where they had a patent office, and I spent two years there getting training. It was such a good experience. When I left the Army, I stayed in the same office as a civilian with a much higher rate of pay. I was there for ten years and then I got a very large promotion. I went to Fort Monmouth in New Jersey. I became an assistant chief counsel for patent law.
