Paul A. Dillon was 25, a young husband and new father, armed with two college degrees and a promising future, when he was forced to come face to face with his own mortality. He was not alone, but that didn’t make it easier. The year was 1970. The place was South Vietnam. Four decades later, Mr. Dillon sits on The Chicago School Board of Trustees, one of the institution’s strongest proponents of using the power and the potential of psychology to support the millions of troops and veterans who came before and after him.
