Cathy and Me...
 
I couldn’t wait to get out of town in 1964, but I came back in 1973 and have been here ever since, happy as a pig in mud most of the time. After Susie Smith and I split up (one of the less happy moments), I was lucky enough to marry a former client, Cathy Bancroft. She and I were surrounded by kids from the beginning (hers, mine, and then ours), so it seems as though we’re getting our honeymoon afterward now that they’ve left the nest.

Over the years my law practice has evolved to where I’m dealing mostly with probate and estate planning. That may sound dull or even morbid, but I enjoy the small-town client contact and a sense of helping families through difficult transitions.

In my spare time I write letters to the local newspaper (formerly the Daily Idahonian) and involve myself in various worthy or quixotic projects. One of these is renovating the old Whitworth School as a community center. It’s only about 25% complete and still looks pretty sad from the outside, but you should see the changes inside. The old gym where you and I used to run around as scrawny 7th graders has been turned into a very nice “Great Room” for dinners, dances, political meetings, and wedding receptions. Any old grads looking for a place to donate excess cash are welcome to contact me!
