Abstract
William L. Cooper, Dartmouth Class of 1966. Cooper discusses to what extent religion and academic rigor held his attention in college. Drafted after college, he was told to report to duty in March 1967. Cooper was stationed and trained in Fort Knox, and instead of becoming a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army Transportation Corps, he became a chaplain’s assistant. He went to Germany in 1967 and was on a base of the 3rd Armored Division, and then transferred to the joint command base. Cooper remained in Germany for one year, and once released from service, Cooper went to law school. He began at Wayne State University, and then transferred to University of Michigan Law School and graduated in 1972. Cooper then attended library school at the University of Pennsylvania. Cooper discuses his successive jobs and retirement to Virginia.
