Kristoffer Kristofferson. Born in Brownsville, Texas, the oldest of three children born to Mary Ann and Henry Kristofferson, a United States Army Air Corps officer.
Kristofferson went to Pomona College in Claremont, California, as a literature major. During this time, Kristofferson worked in various construction jobs and as a firefighter. He appeared in the March 31, 1958, issue of Sports Illustrated for his achievements in collegiate rugby union, American football, and track and field. He and his classmates also revived the Claremont Colleges Rugby Club, and it remains a Southern California rugby institution. Kristofferson graduated in 1958, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree, summa cum laude, in literature. He was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa society his junior year.
Also in 1958, Kristofferson was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to the University of Oxford in Oxford, England, studying at Merton College.
In 1961, he married his longtime girlfriend, Frances "Fran" Mavia Beer. Also in 1961, Kristofferson joined the United States Army and was commissioned as a second lieutenant. He attended U.S. Army Ranger School and completed helicopter pilot training at Fort Rucker, Alabama. He relocated Beer and their newborn daughter to West Germany, where he served as a member of the 8th Infantry Division. During this period, Kristofferson was promoted to the rank of captain and resumed his music career, forming a band to play at service clubs. It was at this point that he met Marijohn Wilkin, the aunt of his platoon commander.
In 1965, after his tour in West Germany ended, Kristofferson was re-assigned to teach English literature at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.
And this is the back-story of the singer/songwriter/actor we know today as Kris Kristofferson. The man who wrote "Me and Bobby McGee", which was ultimately owned and made famous by Janis Joplin…from Port Arthur, Texas…..some 7 hours from Brownsville….Kris' hometown.
Just a random American music history tidbit for muh frens.
