Later Years
After living in New York for approximately 20 years, Cochems returned to Madison in the early 1930s. In 1933, he was appointed as one of three assistants to the state's NRA director and was doing speaking engagements throughout the state. In 1940, he was employed "installing a system of educational recreation in state institutions." When the position of head football coach at St. Louis University opened up in 1940, Cochems put in his name, but the job went to Dukes Duford.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Adolescents are travelers, far from home with no native land, neither children nor adults. They are jet-setters who fly from one country to another with amazing speed. Sometimes they are four years old, an hour later they are twenty-five. They dont really fit anywhere. Theres a yearning for place, a search for solid ground.”
—Mary Pipher (20th century)
“Its no go the Government grants, its no go the elections, Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.”
—Louis MacNeice (19071963)
