He just left yesterday back to Boise State to finish his college career. My other son Jake played football at OSU in his freshman year so I was able to make most of the home games (that was fun) Our 20 year old daughter is going to a college to learn how to do hair & is very interested in missions work to help young kids without parents as her father passed away when she was just 3 yrs old.

e things that go with it. My wife(Shoshana) and I are know learning life with just the 2 of us. It really isn't that hard as we are having a lot of fun traveling around with our new business.I have been building houses for the last 30 years and with a company called Sun Forest Const. for the last 16 years. I have enjoyed it but ready for a change.We have vacation rentals in Bend, so if anyone is looking for a place to stay let me know.I still love hunting & fishing & most sports although with so much going on my priority list has been on the bottom for awhile. We have a ranch just west of Bend with horses,outdoor weddings and just a lot of fun. I have always Loved my memories of growing up in Corvallis and all of my friends that were part of my family. I enjoyed showing my kids the houses & neighborhoods that uncle Don grew up in, yes I thought of all the good times & the bad times. You know who you are that shared those times with me, hopefully there were many more good times then bad ones. Talk to you soon
