Thanks, 999. I was expecting to see a solemn old gentleman!

I know that during his schooling years, it was common for folks to not attend past 8th grade or so. With him having gone to Harvard, I would assume that he probably did graduate from high school. I haven't found anything that said where he graduated..but I imagine someone local will know when I start talking to them.

While looking for Woolsey info, I came across a thing that said "Missouri Waltz" was originally named "Graveyard Waltz". Of course, that has very little to do with the topic at hand, but a person can never have too much trivia..
