  • A Retired Veteran Returns to College

    Sterling Williams Jr. was retired from the U.S. Airforce, bored, and looking for a fulfilling way to spend his time. “When you’re retired, there’s only a few things you can do: dig a garden, watch TV, cut the grass, or bowl, and I can’t [bowl] anymore,” said Williams, 62, a Sinton, Texas resident.
