GI Bill?


Probably not, but that was the best thing ever to happen to general
aviation.


Your remarks on the GI Bill are right on target. The U.S. is only now
ceasing to see the economic benefits of the GI Bill, passed I believe
in 1944! Indeed, the benefits may still be operative, as the
grandchildren of the WWII vets obtain an education that they might
never have aspired to, had not the old man gone to college on the GI
Bill.

Not only my university, but even my high school (Brewster Free
Academy, Wolfeboro, New Hampshire) was swollen to capacity by a
significant number of "vets". Indeed, the student body at the
University of New Hampshire actually shrank each year that I was
there, as the vets worked their way through the system and graduated.

Higher education was never the same again.

all the best -- Dan Ford
