In the fall of 1950, he attended the University of Kansas and earned his Master's Degree in Social Studies.  Wally spent his career in education.  He was a teacher, coach, high school principal, and president of schools and colleges throughout Kansas.  He attended law school at Stanford University and earned his doctorate in education from Oklahoma State University.

He was also an academic dean at Santa Ana College and El Camino College in Southern California.  In addition to his career in education, Wally and his Dad farmed in Kansas and North Dakota for many years.

Wally was an active and founding member of St. Gregory the Great Parish and participated in the weekly Wednesday Breakfast Club.  He served on the Parish Council as a lector and Eucharistic Minister.  In addition, he acted as a voluntary Navy Chaplain.  As someone with a spirit of adventure, Wally was a world traveller.  He especially enjoyed visiting family in Europe and in Mexico.  He was a talented carpenter and wood worker and could fix anything and everything. He was an avid fisherman, enjoying both fresh water and deep sea fishing.
