    Technically I don’t think he got to Huntsville until 1951, but yeah when he got there it was a town of less than 17k people and only 4 square miles.

    In 1941 he was somewhere else… Doing something. Who knows what. We can’t say for sure what he was doing before he suddenly reappears in Germany in 1950 and then off to the city that never sleeps, Huntsville, Alabama, in 1951.

      Your post doesn’t say he moved to Huntsville in 1951, it says he retired there over a decade later after teaching in the university in Jacksonville, Florida Alabama (thanks to derfunkatron for the correction)

        Jacksonville State University is in Jacksonville, Alabama, not Jacksonville, Florida.

        You can also verify which Jacksonville this is supposed be because little Von Spakovsky was born in Huntsville in 1959.
