Education
As a young child, Louis attended elementary school at Whitehall Public Schools in Whitehall, MI. He was enrolled only a short time before transfering to a very small catholic school called St. James, across the river in Montague. Growing up in Whitehall amd going to school in Montague created problems for the young student. He constantly tore at himself for what side of the river he would identify with. It eventually became too problematic for his parents to he him in torment, and he moved to a different, but larger catholic school in Muskegon, MI. He attended Muskegon Catholic Central for four years, lettering in four varsity sports.
