Natives call it Yellowstone country. After a young life of adventure with family, I graduated from Idaho State University and rambled a bit. Later, a job took me to North Idaho — and more adventures in the lakes and forest country. Leaving the bureaucracy, I started my own construction company and enjoyed it for thirty-five years. (The Pend Oreille country of the Panhandle holds a big part of my heart.) Relatives wanted me to “come home,” so in 2018 I moved to what we call “Someday Ranch.”
My overwhelming gratitude to my first editor at the Morning News, Elisa (EC Stilson); she put the first book together. And to Ann Anthony, editor of the Island Park News. They both encouraged and inspired me. The stories are from my columns; I hope you find some of them enjoyable. Hopefully after volume 2, the third addition will be out in fall of this year.ver menos
