DUNN PHILADELPHIA,PA. How did I make the transition from a Teachers' College to the life insurance business? Here is about how it happened. I waved a fond farewell to Moorhead State Teachers' College, Minnesota, in the spring of 1941, and settled down to do some serious thinking concerning my future. Uncle Sam.supplied some of the answers in September of that year, and for the next five years the Army Air Corps was my boss, and my address was a succession of Army Air Bases and A.P.O. numbers, which stretched from Colorado to Scotland, England, Africa, Italy and Corsica. For two of these years it was my good fortune to be associ- ated with a brother officer, MCapfl Haines, in civilian life a partner in New England Mutual's Philadelphia General Agency, Moore and Haines. He, my wife—a U. S. Army nurse, whom I married in Africa—and I spent long hours discussing life insur- ance and its possibilities as a career for me. It offered all of the things that I had ever hoped for in business: independence, unlimited income possibilities and, most of all, a never-ending challenge to my ability in a field where limits do not exist, excepting as I alone set them. Before I had finished my terminal leave, I was studying for my Pennsylvania State Insurance examination, and was making field trips with my friend from overseas.
