Milton developed a love for the martial arts. He studied Karate and he achieved a 7th degree black belt in the Shorei Karate Association. He sought out ways to assist others, serving as President of the Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) Board, Treasurer of the 1965 Taft Class Reunion and President of the McCallister Family Reunion.

He met the love of his life, Christine Brooks, in Karate class. Milton joked that ‘Christine interrupted his Karate class by sauntering through the middle of it while he was teaching.’ It Clearly Worked!!
