The move, which came in 1926, was down to his father, Eugene, accepting a position at the Savage Arms Corporation, a firearms manufacturing company.

After high school, John enrolled at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, which is a private Ivy League university located in Philadelphia. However, he quit during his sophomore year, but later decided to further his education by attending Syracuse University, a college with around 22,000 students in Syracuse, New York State.

While at Syracuse University, he met fellow student Dorothy Prentiss who he married in secret in 1937. However, in 1938, he made it public, by having a ceremony in Poland…
