Richard's Story
I got married to Ginger Walker in 1977. We had 3 boys, Chad 29, Sean 27, and Cody 22.
I worked for the J.R.Simplot co. for 23 years. Finished there as a Warehouse supervisor. Then hired on at Union Pacific in 2004 were I work as a foreman in the rail yard.
I enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities. My passion is whitewater rafting. I have also tried sky diving, but didn't get too involved with that sport. I enjoy hiking the local mountain peaks as well. I have been to the top of Mt. St. Helens many times as well as some others. Also done some mt. biking in Idaho and central Or.. I am still into...Expand for more
the old vans, and have a few works in progress. My art is still a big part of me, and I have plans for starting a web site this year to offer some of my work for sale.
Physically I'm not in too bad of shape for 50. On the typical medication for High blood pressure, cholestoral, and acid reflux. 4 knee surgeries have pretty much put an end to my running days, but I do still play some half court basketball. Had to have a stent placed in one of the main arteries of my heart due to some blockage back in 97. I do a lot of weight training and bike riding to stay in shape and keep the old age away.
