	Forest was born July 6, 1918, in Cope, Colorado, to Jess and Agnes Fisch and attended public schools in Lamar and Brush, Colorado. After graduating from Brush High School, he majored in mathematics at Colorado State College of Education (now the University of Northern Colorado) and graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1940. He taught at Cortez Union High School until joining the Navy for World War II, where he served as a navigator in the Pacific and taught naval correspondence, naval law, and navigation at Fort Schuyler, New York. The experience led him to return to Colorado State College to pursue a career in higher education after the war.
