Rocky's relationship with Dartmouth College has been fruitful and enduring. In 2013 the Baker-Berry Library mounted the exhibition, Designed and Printed at The Stinehour Press, following Rocky's gift of the Press' business papers to the College's Rauner Special Collections Library. Read more about the exhibit here, and an interview with Rocky here.

In June of 1947, upon being discharged from the U.S. Navy after four years as a fighter pilot, Rocky took a job with the Connecticut Valley Air Service in Whitefield, New Hampshire. The business closed it doors in early 1948, shortly after his marriage to Elizabeth Maguire. Another vocation awaited him, however, as he was to find employment in the shop of one Mr. Bisbee in Lunenburg, Vermont, and enter Ray Nash's Graphic Book Arts program at Dartmouth College by the end of the summer.
