My Father Passed when I was a freshman in high school. He was a millwright for about a year before his passing but Fell timber most of his life. He was a avid outdoorsman Hunting Fishing and Woodcutting was his favorite passtimes.
Our family would have been pretty hungry if not for his hunting skills. Deer and Elk meat and baking powder biscuits were our staples. He was a loving generous man and would help anyone in need. He had a Dodge power wagon that spent more time in the mountains then most deer, with him behind the wheel it would go most anywhere. I remember some pretty wild rides in it. One year one of the uncles killed a Elk down a canyon above the river. Dad drove the power wagon into the minam river up stream water flowing in around our ankles at times. When he was close to the spot he drove out of the river on a old skid trail and we loaded up the elk and drove back out with it. Another time I remember at Mud Springs we came to a big washout on the road. Dad and a couple of the uncles got out to access the situation. One uncle said BUD (his nickname) we cant get pass it Dad climbed into the Dodge Told the kids and women in the back to get on the high side of the pickup bed and up the mountain around the washout we went and enjoyed our fourth of July picknick. I could tell lots of stories like this about the great adventures we had together. He was a four year letterman in highschool and loved sports. He would walk the eight miles home after football practice. The family lived on what we call the old home place on the edge of Cricket Flat overlooking the minam canyon. I miss him a lot and regret all the things I still had to learn from him. Everyone loved him and he is missed dearly.
