Life has been a journey. I have been living in Idaho for a long time now and will never leave this place.

I left home when I joined the Air Force. While in the Air Force I got married and had 2 children. After discharge I moved to NY for a couple of years, but the mountains were calling me. I moved back to Idaho and soon divorced.

I am still the outdoorsman that I have always been. My happiest times are when I am in the wilds. I am a freelance writer for outdoor magazines, now that I have stopped shooting competitive archery.

I recently became a grandfather. WOW, what time does!!!!

I have often wondered what has happened to some. I get bits and pieces when I come home to visit. Has that area changed. Progress has swallowed everything.

I have many memories but as with everything, the past becomes foggier as the years go by....

One thing that I do remember is that I liked being on the co-op work program. I quickly learned that if I called in sick to work when I was let out, I could get to the good fishing holes before everyone else
