John Hinckley Jr. Other Highland Park High School
BiographyJohn Hinckley Jr. was born on May 29, 1955 in Ardmore, Oklahoma, and grew up in Texas. He went to Highland Park High School in Dallas County, Texas. The family, owners of the Hinckley Oil company, later moved to Colorado. An off-and-on student at Texas Tech University from 1973 to 1980, in 1976 he headed to Los Angeles in hopes of becoming a songwriter. These efforts were unsuccessful, and his letters home to his parents were full of tales of misfortune and pleas for money. He also spoke of a girlfriend, Lynn Collins, who turned out to be a complete fabrication. He returned home to his parents' house in Evergreen, Colorado, before the year was out. Over the next few years he developed a pattern of living on his own for a while and then returning home broke. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hinckley%2C_Jr.;
