Promontory University is a college in Utah that’s near Salt Lake City, to
the north. The city is named that because it’s next to the Great Salt Lake,
which is a really big body of water that has salt in it, like an ocean. It
actually has more salt in it than the oceans. I don’t understand how
it works, but Mrs. McKinney told me that she’s going to teach us the water
cycle in a couple of months, so we’ll probably all learn more about it.
Anyway, after the big trip in Europe, my papa decided to go to Promontory
University. My grandma said that it was only about 2 and a half hours away
from where they lived. So he was able to be out of the house, and learn how
to be an adult, but he could also drive back home, and then back to his dorm
in only one day if he really needed to. I don’t think he ever had to do
that, though. He loved being at school. It’s where he learned the skills
that he used when he got a job. That would not happen for a long time,
though. After he graduated, he joined the military, but we’ll talk more
about that in a few slides when I talk about Rhode Island. At Promontory
University, he studied Architectural Engineering. That’s what people use to
draw out buildings before other people build them. But he didn’t do much
with buildings. His work had more to do with vehicles. That will come up
again later too.
