(I) mostly worked in the forest industry. I did obtain a commercial pilots license and flew in the agricultural field, using different pesticides, and retardants. At age 65 I moved from Ocean Shores Wa. where we raised all 3 kids, to Ea. Wa, after my wife passed away. I worked for my son operating heavy equipment. Since have gotten cancer, which forced me to retire, and now just take life a day at a time. I was given 2 yrs until i should get my affairs in order. That time has come and gone, so every day is a bonus now. I am doing pretty good actually. I miss Beaverton, but it is really nice over here too. I live about 10 miles up the Snake river, out in the orchards and vineyards. It is very nice and quiet. The air is sweet with the apples and grapes.
