I graduated in 1930 and I went up to the Yale Drama School for two years.

I've always loved teaching and reading and talking to people, and my grandfather was a professor.

For a little while, my mom was a school teacher. And I went to the school that she taught.

My mother was a teacher.

And the only studies were - Rodney Dangerfield was my mentor and he was my Yale drama school for comedy.

My dad worked for a generator company and then UC Berkeley, and my mom was as a dental hygienist and then eventually a history teacher. My uncles and aunts, all of them are elementary school teachers or scientists.

I was a lifeguard, camp counselor, the president of the YMCA Leaders Corps. I also took piano lessons. I was a dancer.

Yale places great stress on undergraduate and graduate teaching. I like teaching, and I do a lot of it.
