Veteran. The university of colorado boulder hosted this 90minute event. I now have the privilege of introducing the speaker. Wimmium adams grew up in michigan and started his College Career at Colorado College. He also nearly ended his College Career at Colorado College with a freshman year that he describes with characteristic forthrightness as disastrous. He then enlisted in the army in 1966 and did basic training at ft. Knox. The results of various standardized tested qualified him for officer candidate school and he was soon commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the artillery. He went on to the school of warfare at ft. Bragg, where he was trained in language and special weapons. In may of 1968, he was sent to vietnam as an adviser to a very small regional unit in the mecong delta. For a year, he worked with South Vietnamese combat units. In may of 1969, he returned to the United States. He went to college, first after the university of michigan and then with a return to Colorado C
