  In 1939 Hank left South Dakota for the University of Nebraska to earn a college degree and play football. After his freshman year he quit football and devoted more time to his studies in zoology and botany. His academic studies were interrupted in May, 1942 when he enlisted in the Army Air Corps to serve his country in World War II. Hank was stationed in England with the Eighth Air Force. He was a staff-sergeant tail gunner on a B-17 Flying Fortress for a squadron’s lead plane. He survived thirty missions over France and Germany starting after the Normandy invasion in 1944. His war experiences greatly affected him and he didn’t talk about the war until he was an older man. He was a proud veteran and because of the Honor Flight Organization of Idaho was able to visit the WWII Memorial in Washington when he was 90. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with Four Clusters and the Good Conduct Medal for his service to his country. Sather studied at the University of Nebraska, earned the M.A. at University of Missouri and Ph.D. in Zoology at University of Nebraska. He taught in the Western Illinois University Biological Sciences department 1955 to 1964. He served as Dean of the Graduate School at WIU from 1964 to 1979 when he retired from the university.
