After some wavering, I’ve decided to write my bio out of concern someone might coerce me to write it on a napkin on Friday night at the class reunion.  So here goes.

After graduating from good ol’ MHS, I attended the U of I graduating in 1970 in Agricultural Science.  After which I worked construction for a few years while enlisted in the Idaho National Guard.  In the mid-seventies, I returned to the family farm and have farmed here ever since.  We raise wheat, peas, lentils, garbanzos, hay and cattle.

I met my wife Henrianne while she was attending the U of I.  She worked at the courthouse and city hall for many years.  She then recently ran for public office and now is the current Latah County Clerk/Auditor.

We have 3 children who all attended MHS and the U of I.  It was very interesting and enjoyable watching them grow and participate in the local school activities.  Our oldest daughter Emily (31 yrs old) is married to Walker Berg – Chris and Gary Berg’s son.  Emily is an elementary school teacher in Vancouver WA and Walker is a police officer for City of Portland.  Our second daughter Amy and her twin brother John (22 yrs old) are both attending the U of I and should graduate next year.  Amy is focusing on Childhood Development and Family Relations, and John is studying Agricultural Systems Management.

The farm is a very busy place and keeps our family busy year around with no retirement plans in sight.  Moscow has been a good place to raise a family – quite a different town than in 1965, but an interesting town with a wide range of ideas and values.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.
