I never thought of myself as a draft dodger. I had a student deferment [[note the word) until I graduated from Wayne St. in early 1970. Within two months I received my notice to report to Fort Wayne for a draft physical, which I did. At the end of the physical, one of the docs read off 10-12 names and told us to report to another room. We did and a doc there stated that we were being classified 1-Y, with no explanation as to why and I don't recall that anyone asked. We were informed that we would be recalled for another physical in 6-9 months. Sometime in 1971, the Selective Service reclassified all 1-Y to 4-F [[unfit for military service). To this day, I don't know why I received that classification.
