STERN FATHER BUT TOOK THE TIME TO TEACH ME SPORTS, COACH MY LITTLE LEAGUE TEAMS, AND PARTICIPATE WITH ME IN THE CUB SCOUTS AND BOY SCOUTS.
DAD TAUGHT ME ABOUT THE OUTDOORS, CAMPING, FISHING, ETC. HE WAS A REAL "OUTDOORS MAN". IN FACT, I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS BORN A FEW GENERATIONS TOO LATE. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY MUCH AT HOME LIVING DURING THE 1800'S.
HE WAS A GOOD PROVIDER IN THAT WE ALWAYS HAD SCHOOL CLOTHES FOR ALL THE KIDS AND FOOD ON THE TABLE. DRIVE-IN MOVIES WERE AT REAL TREAT WITH POPCORN!
HIS FAMILY WAS VERY CLOSE; TYPIFIED BY ALL THE FAMILY PICNICS I REMEMBER FROM MY CHILDHOOD AND AS I GREW UP. I ESPECIALLY REMEMBER THOSE AT THE HILLSBORO PARK (OREGON). MOM USED TO GO THERE TO THE INDOOR ROLLER RINK AS A TEENAGER.
Went to California around the time of the Gold Rush. When last heard from, he was n Shasta Co., CA.
Died of Scarlet Fever.
