The Chandler's moved to Springfield VT which is where Carl spent the major part of his childhood. He joined the Army in 1953 and spent almost three years in Alaska, which he spoke of often. In the early 1960's he started his career as a radio broadcaster at WCFR in Springfield and discovered his life's other passion the theater. He was involved in several productions of the Springfield players.
