• Vincent’s abilities going unnoticed because the horse would not have provided a challenge.

13.5 Exit Ticket Review

In 1965 after graduating from college, Carl really only knew two things: first, there was a draft going on that was sending men his age to fight in a war in Vietnam, and second, he was determined not to be one of them.

At the time there were only a few ways of getting out of a mandatory draft. Carl contemplated feigning insanity, fleeing to Cuba, and even breaking his own bones. In the end, however, he took a less drastic route. There was a shortage of middle school math and history teachers throughout the country, and men in a teaching position were not able to be drafted. Of all the options this one seemed the best suited for Carl.

So he packed up his things and moved from Pittsburgh to Chicago. He found an apartment close to Wrigley Field and commuted to Berkeley Middle School outside the city. He met Steve Pitt, who was also a teacher there, and the two quickly became lifelong friends. They would often tell people, without a whiff of irony, that they “taught math at Berkeley,” hoping that whoever they were talking to didn’t have any follow-up questions like, “The prestigious
university or the middle school in suburban Chicago?”

Three years passed. The need for teachers was no longer so dire, and the war was still going on, so Uncle Sam decided that teaching no longer exempted men from joining the military. But students were still excused. It was near the end of summer, so Carl had to act fast.

He stayed in his apartment and cold-called nearly one hundred law schools, trying to convince someone in admissions to let him in. However, it was late August. Not only had all the schools admitted their entire incoming class, but some were already in session. Moreover, students generally applied with résumés, cover letters, interviews, and test scores—not with a salesman-like pitch over the phone.

By some miracle one school liked Carl’s style. The only requirement was that he provide proof of his good grades in college. This kind of admission was exceptional; law schools don’t typically admit students because they take risks. However, at this time, there were certainly many unique methods being employed to avoid being drafted into war.

And so Carl proudly joined the incoming class of first-year students at John Marshall Law School, also in Chicago. On September 6, 1968, Carl entered the admissions office to turn in his transcript before his first class of the semester.

Maybe being admitted to John Marshall had less to do with Carl’s good GPA and more to do with the person on the other end of that first phone call. When Carl walked into the office, he did not expect that the woman he had spoken to would become his wife. But there she was— Maryann—busy with paperwork but smiling at everyone who came in. It was only her second year working there, but she was single-handedly responsible for changing Carl’s future.
