Our oldest, Emerald (22), is married to John who is in the Army and they are currently stationed on Oahu, Hawaii. Their daughter, Chloe' is 6 years old. Our son, Brian (19) is a sophmore at the University of Oregon. Our youngest, Miranda (12) is a 6th grader and lives with us. After working in banking for 24 years, I changed careers and am now in the wood industry. I manage a group of businesses in Sheridan. We have a sawmill and do lumber remanufacturing.
