He and his twin brother Darrell enjoyed, and excelled at football, basketball, baseball, and track. Andy took his studies very seriously, and knew that he wanted to pursue college. After graduating high school in 1963, he enrolled in Iowa State University, where he studied business. However, the U.S. Army had other plans and drafted him in 1965.
