A World War II veteran who was exposed to radiation during an atomic bomb explosion has left his California estate worth more than $750,000 to the Oklahoma State University College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology, school officials said.
The gift from Bernard Karen was announced Tuesday by the OSU Foundation. Karen died Nov. 11.
During his time as a U.S. Army soldier, Karen studied mechanical engineering at the associate, bachelor’s and master’s levels at OSU.
