rand Canyon NP, White River NF, Apache-Sitgreaves NF and now South Lake Tahoe as Asst. Forest Archaeologist. I have recently returned to Colorado haven been selected for my dream job as the White River National Forest Heritage Program Manager and will probably end my career here. We have evidence of Native American occupation going back to the end of the Ice Age and have historic sites related to the expansion to the West including mining, railroads, CCC and military sites.
My younger brother Dirck (Loudonville Elementary and also LSE HS) lives with his family in Chicago, my older brother Grant (Shaker) and mom just passed away this year while residing in the Albany area, it's been a tough year.
Besides working as an archaeologist, I also help out with wildland firefighting in our forest and in the region, working as an archaeologist trying to prevent damage to cultural resources..
I still love skiing, music and sports and have stayed in touch with many friends from Shaker and Southeast.
I hope everyone is well, send me an e-mail if you are going to visit Colorado, or the Grand Canyon or Lake Tahoe areas, I can give you the insider info on both. -Tom
