Comments:

Tried to retire from teaching after 39 years but after duck season got really bored so working half time at a charter school in the big town of Alturas. Rumor is going around that we might get a stop light in Modoc County (pop. 10,ooo) My true enjoyment is working the Warner's as a Wilderness Ranger (get paid to go backpacking) and going to big fires as a Wildland Fire Resource Officer. Still running and coaching did 8 miles yesterday. Won my age group by over two minutes at a race in Redding last week. But slowing down, have 6th grade girls that can kick my tail. Karla is going to retire in Oct. and then we are going to do some serious traveling. Going to grandsons wrestling meet today. He usually does well at it. Looking forward to the next reunion and having a beer with everybody.

School Story:

I remember Wayne Glime and I used to direct traffic at basketball games and have a long straw under our shirts to our booze. It is amazing we did not cause an accident..

Passed the Pack test (3 miles in 45 minutes with a 45 pound pack)for the U.S Forest Service today. Getting ready for another crazy summer. Just hope it doesn't burn like it has the last few years. Hope to spend some time with my son who is an engine captain and my grandson bossing them around.
