in the first place. Did you come from a medical family?
ROOD: No. My stepfather, who reared and educated me, was an attorney in Grand
Junction, Colorado. I had no interest whatsoever in studying law, nor did I have any 
interest in history. [stepfather was ----- Hall]
. . . . . 
Anyhow, I was a product of the Great Depression. My father was a banker and an
attorney and he had quite a financial struggle when I was ready to go to college. The 
little junior college there at Grand Junction evolved into Mesa College, and the county 
paid my tuition, so it didn't cost anything.
