Gale continued his education at the University of Wisconsin Madison receiving his bachelor’s degree in secondary education in 1965, and his Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology in 1970. He was a Peace Corps volunteer in Kandahar, Afghanistan from 1966-1968. He was a social studies teacher in Stoughton and Highland.
