1. My father was a WW II veteran.

He was orphaned at age 12 and left school at the 7th grade. He went from foster home to foster home and then into the army. A couple of years later, WW II.

Years later, he wanted a job promotion that required a high school diploma. He went to the local high school, Millburn, New Jersey. He told the principal the problem and asked what he had to do to get a diploma.

The principal told him his "life experiences" were sufficient to have earned a diploma.

Thank you , Mr. Faddis.

That's how it should be done.
