TSgt. Roger M. Ingbretsen, 33, began his quest for a college degree in 1969 by taking College Level Examination Program tests, where the student can challenge college course material for credit at that level. He picked up 30 semester hours this route. é At the same time he was taking Air Force Extension Course Institute courses, which also netted him collegiate credit. Not letting any op portunity slip by, he registered for classes at Yuba College in Marysville, and was graduated last year with an associated arts degree in business. He then applied for further education through the Air Force’s Bootstrap program and was accepted. He was able to go to Park College in Kansas City, Mo., for the last six months in 1972. and was graduated last month with a bachelor of arts degree in economics and business. In addition, he has earned a class date of March in Officers Training School at Lackland North San Juan News” by Idabel Covert ~ All over the United States, citizens sat glued to the TV, vainly straining to catch a glimpse of a familiar local face, as they watched the inauguration of President Richard Nixon last Saturday. I was one of them, hoping to see some of our local Milhous clan, but what the cameras showed of the ordinary and extraordinary people attending the various festivities was the backs of their heads for the most part. One newscaster remarked in passing sthat there were around 250: relatives of the president and the first lady there, but that was all that I heard. Not one interview or photograph. This strikes me as very dull of them. After all, Kissinger, Agnew, and other less important dignitaries are old hat to us by now, and to the news people themselves, I should think. How much more exciting it would have been to hear our friends from home give their impressions of a most important, _ once-in-a-lifetime occurrence to most of them. Maybe when the Milhous family JANUAR SALE NOW IN Progress More than just “BARGAINS GALORE" we know you'll. adore! . at Cedar Ridge Ladies Shop Cedar Ridge 273-4664 x returns, they will give us an interview. Last minute additions to the group from here were Monty and Dorothy Milhous, who decided on the spur of the moment to go. Monty is Calvin’s son. At the very moment the smiling weatherman on the devil box was promising us a weekend of fair skies, snow was falling on the fair cities of North San Juan, Nevada City and Grass Valley. All over the foothills, in fact. It melted off by © Sunday after , but by then hopes for ia, eoeliaet period were gone. How I long for a week or two of nice, mild sunny weather, the kind we often get in California in January. This is the time of year when even polar bears “long for summer. How would you like a big slice of ripe, sweet, crisp watermelon? Or a fresh peach.Or even a mild case of sunburn. But as it says in the Good: Book: “To everything there is a season,”’ and this is not the season for those goodies, alas. Babe’s Tavern has changed hands again. John and Rae Bigley are the new proprietors, with some changes in mind, I understand. The Bigleys are oldtimers in the community. They have lived on Tyler Road for the last few years. The school board heard from John MacDonald, of the State Department of Education, that the prognosis for the school district is one of expanding population. They expect us to have at least 150 students in the next two years, so it is recommended by Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Fellerson that we borrow enough more money from the state to build additional classrooms to take care of the increase. This will be a state loan, not a bond issue, so taxes will not go up. The proposition willbe on the ballot in April when the election for trustees is scheduled. So here we go again. It is expected that the plans for the present building program will be ready for bid by April, and hopes are that the students Can move into the new school by y\ next January. The Parents Club ‘will sponsor an informational meeting sometime in March to answer questions, as they did before. The next board meeting will be Jan. 29 at North Columbia. AFB, Tex., to be followed by Avionics Maintenance School at Lowry AFB, Colo. Until March, he will continue working in either his former job in the quality control section of the wing headquarters squadron, of he will return to the 456th Avionics Maintenance Squadron, where he spent the. first two years of his Beale tour . as a flight control technician. Under Bootstrap, not to be confused with the Bootstrap Commissioning Program, Sergeant Ingbretsen was allowed six months at a college of his choice in the field of his choice to get his degree. ‘He was eligible for assistance from the _ Veteran’s. Administration which covered about 75 per cent of his tuition. In. addition, he continued to draw his regular Air Force pay and allowances : “In all I figure that his six months cost me about $2,000, including travel, living expenses, books and my part of the tuition,”’ the sergeant explained. While he missed his wife and his family, Sergeant Ingbretsen became involved in the campus life and found that being on the Campus during an election year was an “education in itself.” While there was a certain amount of curiosity by the. college students about the blue Suiter (and vice versa), there was no resentment of him or the Air Force. ‘‘Rapport between the students, military and civilian, was real good,”’ he said. But the man’s maturity and his motivation gave him an edge ‘on the younger students in the college, and he was graduated Sigma Cum Laude (first in his Class) with straight As. While in school he was. accepted ‘for membership in Omicron Delta Epsilon, an international honor society in economics, and Delta Tau Kappa, international social Science honor society. In ad© dition to those school organizations, he is also a member of Knights of Columbus. Sergeant Ingbretsen plans to Start. work on his master’s degree as soon as he gets to his first base following officers training and avionics maintenance school. What does he think about the Bootstrap program? Sergeant Ingbretsen feels that in addition to retirement, education is the best thing the services have going for them. The New York native entered the Air Force in April 1958, and has nearly 15 years of service. Part of the credit, he confessed, goes to his wife, Kathleen, who managed to keep . things quiet around the house so he could study. ELKS LADIES NIGHT Grass Valley Elks will hold “ladies’ night’’ Saturday with dinner and dancing for all Elks and their guests. Chuck Slattery is chairman for the 7:30 p.m. New York steak dinner. Dancing will be to music of the Gold Dusters.
