    After graduating, I joined the Navy & went through hospital corp school. Worked in Navy hospitals for one year. Transferred to Marines as a medic overseas in the Far East where I served with the Fifth Marines Recon. 3rd Div. First Marines in Viet Nam in 1959 as advisors.
    After the service, went to college in Los Angeles & studied PreMed. Couldn’t afford to finish, so, bummed the country for a year ending in Houston, TX where I went through a mortuary college for 2 years & became a mortician for 20 years. I mostly managed the Funeral Home. I was licensed in Montana, Colorado, Minnesota & Idaho where after 20 years as a mortician I finally got burned out.
    I’ve been married 4 times, the 4th being the love of my life for over the last 20 years. I have 4 children - 2 boys and 2 girls; 7 grandchildren - 4 boys & 3 girls.
    While in Salmon for over the last 20 years, I have worked with USGS mapping the entire Mountain Range around Salmon. Worked with Idaho Fish & Game & retired after 10 years. I started my own cookie & chip distributorship which I retired from in 2000. I also was with the Northern Idaho Ski Patrol for 7 years.
    Now retired, I maintain 3 part-time jobs - maintenance tech for 36 unit apartment complex, help a friend in his insulating business & I work for Fish & Game checking the creel count of steelhead fishermen up & down the mighty Salmon River.
