Bios: Jim Miller and Russ Rojan
Happy Tuesday,
Donna's hoping we have an accurate head count for the restaurants before this Friday, so if you haven't registered, please let us know if you're coming (which nights and how many). Thanks.
Send your bios to malove@imbris.net----even if you're not attending.
On to the bios:
Jim Miller: The last ten years I have been enjoying my family, watching the kids grow, doing dentistry and living a "Great Life" in a "Great Home Town."
Russell "Krusty" Rojan: Well, hello to all of my classmates of 19 and 65. I was looking in the mirror the other day, and you know, if I am up close and I look in my eyes, I still see the barefoot boy with cheeks of tan that I know so well. Then, I pull back, and I see this man (not a young one at all), and just for a second, I wonder who in the hell is looking at me!! Finally, reality rears its ugly head. Anyways, that is enough of the PHILO-O-PHIZING.
Here's an overview of the last 40 years: After I received the word that Uncle Sam needed me, I enlisted in the USAF, where I did a double hitch and went to Vietnam. When I returned, I entered the Construction Phase of my life. I joined the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union and did my apprenticeship in 1975.
By the following year, I was bored with just being a plumber, so I began studying to be a general contractor. Since 1976, I have been both a licensed plumber and general contractor in California.
I have two children with my first wife, a boy and a girl. My son, Glenn, is now 23 and has a boy and a girl of his own. He is a heavy equipment operator. My daughter, Julie, is 26 and has a daughter. She and her mother run a State Farm agency.
After my release from my first marriage in 1990, I was at a rather low time in my life. Then this lady, who unbeknownst to me at the time was an Idahoan too, put a hand out and pulled me up. As it was, I had to come all the way to California to find a soul mate and a second life's mate.
My wife Linda has a daughter. Her daughter, Jennifer, is 29. She is a teacher and has two children, a girl and a boy. We are now in the process of leaving California and returning to Idaho to become full-time Idahoans again. We will actually be "Stitesites" We are moving to a new home not too far from Grangeville.
Again, hello to all, and I hope to see you soon!!

I briefly crossed paths with Russell Rojan in USAF basic training. I don't remember many of the guys, but Russell stood out, so he must be a pretty good guy.
Thanks for the update, Russ.
