The story of how Colonel Knoebel came to Norwich.
His father was stationed in Italy. Knoebel was a lifeguard on the Italian rivera. He was captain of his football team, VP of his class. One night his father sat down with him. Knoebel asked him "Is this about my grades" (not so good). No lets not talk about the grades. Maybe you should go see a recruiter. And then he went out one night to a bar, got drunk and talked to a man. Knoebel told this stranger he wasn't sure what he wanted to do with his life. And then the stranger told him he heard about this school in central Vermont. It turned out the stranger was actually a Captain who graduated from Norwich.
And he ended with the moral of the story: "Never go to a bar when you don't know what you want to do with your life".
