Milton Varsos was a member of the US Army air corps in WWII after which he attended Milwaukee State Teachers College financing his education through the G.I. bill and working as a professional boxer. He was a three time golden glove champion and maintained a love of boxing throughout his life.
He attended graduate schools in Baton Rouge, LA and Purdue, Indiana. He then began his career as chief psychologist for the state of Wisconsin. Upon retirement he was referred to by the Governor as "Mr. Childcare Institution" for his years of dedication to children and making sure the bureaucracy stayed human and humane. A testament to this is the years of work he put in to marking the numbered graves of children at the Sparta children's center with their names. Upon his retirement he pursued a second career as Clinical Director of Treatment Services at Oconomowoc Developmental Treatment Center. He also served on the board of the International Juvenile Officers Association and aided police departments in developing and implementing stress evaluation tests.
Varsos was a Shriner and a 32nd degree mason of the Scottish Rite in the Zor temple.
