I joined the Marine Corps in 1950 and served until 1952. Part of that was during the Korean War. I then came back to Sunburst and worked as an independent oil producer out of the Kevin-Sunburst oil field from 1950 until 2003 when I moved to GreatFalls with my wife Pattie to live a life of retirement.
I married Pattie in 1953, we have 5 children, 9 grand children and 3 great grand children.
