I was born in Greenfield. So was Alan Kulwicki.
The school system seemed to think one needed
algebra and geometry in order to advance in the sciences.
A's in German and D's in English. A's in science but F's in Algebra. Go figure.
I was looking at water ecology, but the school held me back so I quit.
I joined the Marines and worked in Avionics. WITH NO MATH!
Now retired after a career in electronics.
Your post is my possible life.

Ein Prost!
