James Young is a Missouri native who escaped small town life via spending four years at a small, well-known Federal educational institution in upstate New York. After being set free from the Hudson River Valley, Dr. Young spent the next six years of his life in various locations (both foreign and domestic) having the cost of his education repaid one nickel at a time.
