• Notes

  Upon graduation from St Mary's High School in Berkeley, California, John briefly served in World War II. He was taken out of a combat unit in October 1944 since his three step-brothers were serving in the Navy and Army (one was a Japanese POW). If you recall the movie, "Saving Private Ryan" that was based on a true story, John was the 4th brother. He played football for an Army enlisted team for the rest of the war. All five of his schoolmates and best friends were killed in action in the war; he was the only survivor. After the war John went to St Mary's College and was an All American Defensive Player. He graduated in 1948 and worked as an educator at St Mary's until 1967 and then finished his educator career in Oakland, California, as a teacher, vice-principal and principal for a total of 44 years.
