I grew up on a wheat farm 8 miles from Palouse Falls but didn’t learn about the Ice Age Floods until I attended EWSC where I graduated in 1974 with a BA in Geography. After college, I returned to Washtucna to work with my father in our agricultural equipment family business where I still work today. Married for 47 years with 4 children and 5 grandchildren.
I was introduced to the IAFI in 2001 and became a charter member of the Cheney-Palouse Chapter and helped found the Palouse Falls Chapter in 2015. In addition to the IAFI, I am involved with the local church, Lions Club, Adams County Economic Development Council, and the Washtucna Heritage Museum – Community Center and food bank.
