Eisenhower and never saw combat. He then attended the University of Chicago and received a Bachelors of Science. He also taught part-time at the University of Chicago. He was an excellent public speaker and was the President of the Chicago Junior Chamber of Commerce, but withdrew from running for the position as president of the National Junior Chamber of Commerce. He was interested in history and was very knowledgeable in Egyptian history. Just prior to his death in 1956, he travelled to Egypt and participated in an archeological dig at the Aswan Dam. He had been invited by the President of the World Bank who was an Egyptian at that time. (Source: Robert Bruce Abel (1930-2008) on December 25, 2007 via Ancestry)
