I think the sense of family and family achievement, plus the discipline which I received there from that one-room school were really very helpful in what I did later on.
But when I was selected, after my very first tour of squadron duty, to become one of the youngest candidates for the test pilot school, I began to realize, maybe you are a little bit better.
Of course, in our grade school, in those days, there were no organized sports at all. We just went out and ran around the school yard for recess.
