TIM's Story
I worked on ranches in and out of the valley until I went back to Colorado State Uni. I came back in 77 to the valley to finish up at Cal Poly SLO. I got married in 76 to a great lady who gave us three boys who, despite my lousy parenting, became successful men. They are sons that I look at as friends. My oldest is a PA in a hospital ER and has three kids. He and his wife live about 20 mins from us and we get to see them often. My middle son Tim is also very close and is a finance guy for start up capital or something. I really don't understand all he does. It's probably money laundering at some point way back. He deals with big money. He is married to a great lady and has two sons who we get to see often also.

ird son ,Luke, is one of those guys that seems to fall into things that people work years to get. He is married with one child. He didn't go to college but announces Slope style, Half Pipe and Big Air skiing for ESPN and NBC. He announced in Soschi for the Olympics. Go figure. I hope to be able to do pack trips with my wife and sons horseback this next summer as it really shapes up young stock. I now have two mules and enough horses to do it in style. We can start riding from our house and not cut a fence until eastern Montana. 5/8's of Idaho is State or national forest. My wife is an exceptional woman and is retired as my office mgr. when I became a Judge. She now gets to set her own schedule, training her own horse and is loving her life. She can do most things, but refuses to do others. If I lose this job I will need to find another Office Mgr.. All-in-all, I am a blessed man
