Laclair twice volunteered for Vietnam in Hopes Mihata tour there would allow him the Chance to return to Augsburg. When the army rejected his second request for a Vietnam tour Uclair decided to hang up his sergeant major s uniform while stationed at fort de Vens. Mass. I figured if i can t Pilch i la just take my Ball and go Bui the players and the rules had changed since Laclair last lived in Massachusetts. It was a struggle adjusting to the less structured civilian environment. I was no longer part of that umbilical Cord of the military society that took care of my needs physical As Well As emotional. I found out i had to take care of those needs myself. It was pursuing an undergraduate degree by Day and sell ing insurance by night it took Laclair More than a year before he fell comfortable with civilians. The military is cloistered. It s a fraternity. When you belong 10 the military you tend to look at civilians As outsiders. Then once you become a civilian you see that they re not different. You begin to think that maybe your thoughts should have been expanded a Little bit Laclair s broadening was tied to his Pursuit of Aca Demic degrees. By 1974 he had a Bachelor s degree and a Job teaching sixth Grade in Lunenburg. Mass. By1976, he had a master s degree. He received his doctor ate in 1981.

They re doing what we were doing Only it s safer now because they re farther Laclair admits he does t have Alt the answers including How Best to portray his objectives for the school year. I said we re going to have the Best school this Yearin Germany. Now How the hell am i going to do that it would be ludicrous for Region director Joe Blackstead to announce at a principal s conference that Bill you be got the Best school in Dodds there d be four people wanting to kill Laclair s erect gait and spartan office Are reminders hat his military past has t entirely disappeared. But his past is the last tiling he wants kaisers Lauriem Stu dents to Deal with. I Don i want them to look to me As an authority figure he said. I want them to look up to me As a educator because that s what i Stilt meeting other military retirees at the snack Baror Reading a special farces decade association Book let never fails in remind Laclair thai he once wore e-9 stripes along Wilh a Green Beret. I know there Are two different people he said. Know there is the set. Maj. Laclair who once served in the military and did the Job he was trained to do. Then there is the or. William h.
