UD's Heart Bursting with School Pride "After four years of service, I had been involuntarily extended an additional year because of the Vietnam War. During that year in Washington, I expended a great deal of energy trying to find things or people who were interesting. To quell my angst and sense of drift, I was taking graduate courses at George Washington University. One course was in Shakespeare and another in international relations. When I mentioned the graduate work to Felt, he perked up immediately, saying he had gone to night law school at GW in the 1930s before joining — and this is the first time he mentioned it — the FBI. While in law school, he said, he had worked full time for a senator — his home-state senator from Idaho. I said that I had been doing some volunteer work at the office of my Congressman, John Erlenborn, a Republican, from Wheaton, Ill., where I had been raised. So we had two connections — graduate work at GW and work with elected representatives from our home states." |
