After graduating from high school I stuck around Lemmon until November when I left to serve in the Army.   Basic training was in Ft. Lewis Washington followed by AIT in Virginia.  Then I jumped on a plane and went to Okinawa.  I served as a clerk and was stationed there until my discharge in 1973. 

I came home and went to work in the oil field on a seismic crew in the Lemmon area.  I followed seismic work to Minot North Dakota where I met my wife, Helen.  We were married in 1976 and had two children.  My son Anthony lives in Minot and works for a construction company in Mohall during the summer and spends the winters working at a ski resort in Colorado.  My daughter, Mari, lives in Minot and has a son and a daughter.  She works at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

My mother passed away in 2000 and since that time I do not get back to Lemmon.

My wife passed away May 16, 2010.  I enjoy watching sports and get in a little fishing when I can.  My grandchildren live close so that I get to spend time with them.
