Personal life
[edit]Early life
[edit]Kyle grew up on a rural farm in North Dakota during the 1930s and 1940s. During this time he attended a one-room school house from which he graduated in 1944 at the age of 16. Shortly after graduating from high school he was almost drafted to serve in World War II, but shortly after he reported to Fort Snelling the U.S. made an official decision to no longer draft adolescents under the age of 18. Because of this, Robert was then able to return to the North Dakota school of Forestry and complete his AA degree[6]
Philately
[edit]Kyle first became interested in stamp collecting (Philately) as a young boy, but it was not until he suffered a dislocated lumbar disc in 1965 that he found time to increase his stamp collecting activity. In the process of pursuing this interest he has received a number of awards including the John Brain Medal, the Myrtle Watt Award, and the award of Distinguished Topical Philatelist.[7]
