School Story
During my senior year (Christmas vacation) I had a major brain injury wherein I lost my ability to do math and speak German. I lost all my academic scholarships to places like Texas Tech (Architecture), SMU, St. Edwards, and Columbia College of Law in Missouri, plus my appointments to the military academies at West Point (sponsored by Tx Sen Frank Tejada and US Congressman Henry B. Gonzales), and Annapolis. Spent two years after HS with almost total memory loss of my 10 through 12 grades. My IQ at Mac was 135, after the accident it want down to 86 and the last time I had it tested it was at 159. I am very lucky to both be alive and have my math abilities fully restored as well as much of my German abilities.
