1.) If Evans in fact attended DeVry it would have been after 1967 when DeVry Phoenix campus opened.
2.) If Evans attended Lowell Elementary he would have attended Central HS instead of North HS after elementary. Central HS is located a few blocks away from Lowell Elementary. Unless his family relocated into the North district between elementary and HS. Central may have not been open when he was attending high school it was opened in 1957 believe that would set him way back in age.
3.) In all how would one know the schools in Phoenix back then (i.e) which HS you would attend after elementary, there was no internet to search. Someone back then would not be able to make up the information or pull it out of thin air. Either he actually did live in the area at one time whether it was as a child, teen or adult or he acquired the information from someone else that once did live in the area and attended the schools.
And if we believe his autobiography.... he never went to school at all ... :laughing:
born to Norwegian American parents who abused him and refused to allow him to attend school. Said he had run away from home at age of 14 and joined the military
