This don't compute
The article states that Norman was born in 1949. It then states that he dropped out of high school and "spent the next sixteen years living and writing in Canada's Hudson Bay, Newfoundland, and Greenland. During this time, he received his high school equivalency diploma, and studied later at Western Michigan University Honors College where he received Bachelor of Arts degrees in zoology and English in 1972."

If he spent 16 years working and 3 years to get his BA, that makes 19 years, which means that he left high school in 1953 (1972-19), at age 4. Even assuming he got his BA during the 16 years (which it might say), then he still left high school at age 7. Something's off here. Ecphora (talk) 13:07, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
