Vaughn attended Selinsgrove Area High School, where he was a member of the football and baseball teams. He graduated from that school.

Vaughn’s passion was football, but he was also a formidable opponent in baseball and softball, two sports that he played regularly. The term “Bleacher Reacher” was given to the bat that he used by his teammates. Vaughn served the Selinsgrove Center for a total of thirty years, the last ten of which were spent in the capacity of psychologist and unit manager before taking retirement.
