After graduating from Washington High School in 1941, he attended Northwestern State College at Alva, OK for one year and then spent three years at Central State College at Edmond, OK. Dr. Husky served in the United States Army from August 4, 1943 to April 7, 1946 as a Medical Supply Officer and Post Medical Inspector at the prisoner of war camp at Alva, OK.

Everyone in town knew Doc Husky, and everyone agreed he was one of a kind. He loved being a doctor, and he truly cared for his patients. All he ever wanted to do was help people  and that's what he did. Even though failing health caused him to retire on January 1, 2007, his heart was still at his clinic.
