Back in the turbulent '60ties I had the opportunity to attend WSU River Falls full time day time while working The US Air Force, Osceola AFS full time nights. In retirement I have been pursuing a writing career that was born at WSU River Falls with instructor Zane Chaffee. I'm currently engaged in researching my days at the school.Any thoughts about the 1965-1968 anyone would like to share please email me at fmiler@comcast.net. Frank Miler Brooklyn Park, Mn
