This mentions he attended "princeton theological seminary."

In the past there were mentions he had something to do with "yale divinity school"

It might be good to clear up what schools he was involved with.

A long time ago I had posted an article about when he was hired at Binghamton, in the timeline and also here:
http://zodiackillersite.com/viewtopic.p ... 090#p40090

It also mentions Princeton, don't know how I missed that. But clarity may be found in this post, also from the timeline which has his obituary:
https://www.evernote.com/client/snv?not ... an%2Bdeath

There it lists he received his Undergrad from Yale Divinity, Masters from Harvard, and a Doctorate from Princeton (these could likely be confirmed by either yearbooks, or the schools should confirm who they gave degrees to). He was certainly all over the Ivy League, hardly a poor man's selection for education.

Of course most interesting to me is in article about his hiring at Binghamton where it mentions him working for the State Department after WW2 as director of the "Youth for Understanding" program- has anyone ever looked into that? I also don't know if we have an exact timeline of where Harold lived when, did he do his schooling all at once, or as he took jobs in different locations?

And while perhaps unimportant, but just to create nice bookends on Harold's life, his death certificate should now be able to be released by NYS- 50 years after death NY should release an unofficial copy. Since he died in Binghamton, I can try the County Clerk next time I am down there, if not there is an online form for NYS which I can submit. I doubt it will give much info into Ross, but just seems worth having- like maybe who signed for the body if nothing else.

He also worked at a place called Statistical Tabulating Corporation for 8 years which I can’t find much information on concerning what they did in New York State. I’m interested in that. His work history is confusing.

Ross’s dad bounced around A LOT. Not only with religious education, which strikes me as unusual, but also odd that he appeared successful in New York and then moved completely to the other side of the country. Morf wrote way back that the family shared when he talked to them that there was a major issue with Harold that Morf wouldn’t post online. That leads me to questions about whether this was connected to him bouncing around.

It’s interesting to me that Ross likely went into a mental institution not terribly long after his mother died and Lake Herman happened 3 and a half months after his father, whom he was estranged from, died.
