College correction[edit]

I corrected the college he briefly attended from College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri (CofO) to University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, Arkansas (UofO). I haven't found the source for this article, but it almost certainly said "College of the Ozarks". However, in 1951-53 that was the name of what is now UofO (name changed in 1987); the current CofO was called "School of the Ozarks" at that time (name changed in 1990). Though UofO is in the county seat of Chrisman's home county, that alone doesn't eliminate CofO (near Branson, just north of the Arkansas-Missouri border). The kicker that proves he went to UofO, however, is that CofO was merely a high school in 1951-53; it didn't become a junior college till 1956, and a four-year college till 1965. Since Chrisman graduated from the local high school in Coal Hill before going to "College of the Ozarks", that could ONLY have been what is now UofO. --RBBrittain (talk) 15:10, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
