All aboard!
:28:13
Norman!

So in the autumn of 1919
I boarded the Northern Pacific...
:28:41
for a 3,000-mile trip east
to the unknown.
:28:50
To the son of a Montana minister,
Dartmouth was more than an education.
:28:54
It was a revelation, exposing me
to a world I'd only guessed at.
:29:06
As part of my degree, I was required
to enlighten incoming freshman...
:29:09
on the wonders
of the Romantic poets.
:29:12
And although I was unaware
of it then...
:29:14
teaching fit me.
:29:17
But most of the time I sat in
the card room of my fraternity house...
:29:20
giving my bluenose brothers a lesson
in Front Street poker.
:29:26
In all, I spent six years
at Dartmouth...
:29:29
away from home nearly all that time.
:29:34
On the other hand,
Paul stayed home for college...
:29:37
unwilling to leave the fish
he had not yet caught.
:29:45
After graduation, he took a job
as a reporter for a Helena newspaper...
:29:49
and moved to that town...
:29:52
his connection with the family
growing as slight as my own.
