My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education

My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really, I didnt know my dad very well. He and my mother split up after the war. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and by my mother. – Al Pacino
