Hi Erik, I you can guess at the years he may graduated from High School and the location where he may have been at that time, you could find him the their Year Book and might get some leads from that. Often they put in what his goals were or what he was going to do after graduation - might mention a school of higher learning or join the military - any number of things. He would probably have been about 17 or 18 years of age upon graduation.
