In 1920 and 1930 he was living with his parents in Skagit County, Washinton.[4][5]
He graduated from high school in Sedro-Woolley in 1934,[6] and continued to live near Sedro-Woolley through 1936.[7]
Norman graduated from the then Washington State College, in Pullman, Washington, with a Bachelor of Science in Zoology in 1939,[8] at which time he began to work for the Washington State Game Department. He continued to work for the Game Department until 1969, much of the time as Chief of Land Management.[1]
Norman married Ann Ellen Mayer in Moscow, Idaho on 14 May 1939.[9] They later divorced, on 3 August 1960, in Seattle, Washington.[10]

After many years in Seattle, Norman moved to Olympia, Washington,[15] where he continued to live until his retirement from the Washington State Game Department in 1969. From there, he spent several years in Saipan, Mariana Islands,[16] and a few more years in Thailand before returning to Olympia.
