After he graduated from Anacortes High School in 1941, Funk attended the University of Washington, majoring in Communications. His university education was interrupted by WWII. He returned to the UW and thought he graduated, but it turned out he was 15 credits short.
Funk moved on, but was finally awarded the degree this week and it was presented by Borgen. But, Funk pointed out that the UW couldn't go back and award a degree from the '40's, so he's officially in the University of Washington class of 2009.
