Editing Eric McDermott (section)

==An Uncertain Future:==

Eric McDermott attended one year at Midwestern University of Archeology, Ohio and two years at San Francisco State University for Computer Science. While Eric maintained a 3.9 GPA he dropped out of both schools without explanation. Eric had enjoyed his three years in college and achieved a high standard of performance in both schools but despite this he eventually quit both schools. In each instance he felt as though “something” was missing in his life and his choice of training. 

It was only through a chance meeting with an off duty Starfleet Captain at the Naval History Museum in San Francisco that eventually guided Eric to the Academy in order the he might follow in his father’s footsteps. Captain [[Stanford A. Evers]] was a friend; colleague and shipmate of Roderick who took it upon himself to sponsor Eric to the Academy and help the young man get settled into his new career.
