Q: How did you meet Allan?
A: My wife, Jeannie, and I met Allen and Sue and their two wonderful children when I first began working at the Coeur D'Alene BLM office in the summer of 1968, after graduating from the University of Montana with a BS in Forestry.
Allen, Ralph, Paul, and Gary were tasked to train me. We worked together for over 2 years before I transferred.
Al was a great teacher, very good friend, and a fine woodsman!
We became very good friends, and enjoyed their friendship for years.
We were very close with their children, Tim, dinosaur boy, Debbie, pretty blond hair and blue eyes.
Al loved hunting, guns, and shooting. I have often thought of Al, Sue, and Tim and Debbie over the years. We kept in touch for many years.
I will truly miss Al.
Great fun shooting and hiking my friend until we meet again.
