Ronald's Story

Life After high school I tried LCSC for awhile,but schooling was not for me.I went on to work at potlatch until joining the US Navy in august of 1968. During my enlistment in the military I broke my right knee and about the same time period I ran afoul of some laws of or land and was subsequently imprisoned for close to two years of my life. Although I turned 21 in prison I was not doing life without parole and I did not kill anyone. I just made some mistakes that caused me to take another look at where I was going in life. Although over the years there has been many repercussions from my status as an ex-felon I did discover a propensity for art while in prison and pursued that end at LCSC for a few years after my release from prison. I enjoyed the artistic period of my life but needed to move on and earn a living. I started working at the bullet factory in lewiston now called ATK. During the years that I worked, I married and had two sons, who are now ages 22 and 20. Both my sons live in lewiston, one works for ATK and the other for the movie theaters. My youngest son has plans to be married in august of this year. I retired from ATK in april of 2006 with 28 years of service. My knee that I broke i...Expand for more
n the military finally gave out on me and I had a knee replacement in june of 2004. Since retirement I have been traveling some in the pacific northwest. I have a large camper and hook my boat on behind and head out for new and some old destinations that have been fun in the past. I like fishing waters that are new to me and enjoying the scenery at these destinations. Salmon falls creek reservoir in southern Idaho is one of my new places to visit this summer and in october I am headed for wyoming in pursuit of buffalo with my muzzleloading rifle. In 2005 I bought the first brand new vehicle that I have ever owned. A 4-wheeler. I love puttering around in the mountains. I do not walk so good anymore so the 4-wheeler has been a great tool for me to get out of town. Whenever I am heading back home from a trip, at one point I always say to myself (Man I do not want to go back there.) I have always wanted to live in the country rather than town but never seem to find just the right place. Its almost time to de-winterize the camper and get it ready to go. I just hope the deisel price does not go so high this summer that I have to stay home. See you on the road or some pretty lake somewhere in the U.S. Ron
