I wanted to be a veterinarian, but that just wasn’t to be, having a lot to do with the fact that there is no veterinary school in South Carolina. But I was the first person in my, on my mother’s side to attend college and graduate. And I think I had, I think there were 28 first cousins, and only two of us graduated from college. I was fairly close to my mother’s family. I was not close to my father’s family. They weren’t a very warm and friendly group of folks. I attended Clemson University with the hopes and thoughts and dreams of being a veterinarian. But at the time, the state of South Carolina had no veterinary school, still doesn’t, but it had a contract with the University of Georgia to accept 10 students a year from the state.
