What’s been happening:

In Fall '54 I headed west to Utah. I'd been offered an Assistantship at Utah State University where I earned an MS in Wildlife Management and signed on with the Utah Fish and Game Department (UFGD). By 1965 I'd served UFGD as Information Officer and become the State's Outdoor Recreation Planner/Liaison Officer to the then new Bureau of Outdoor Recreation (Interior Department). They asked me to come to work for them, so my wife and I moved to Denver, CO. We were there for 11 months while I helped the "Mid-Continent" States qualify for Federal Recreation Grants-in-Aid. Then, it was "off" to San Francisco. I became responsible for that Region's Grants-in-Aid program. In 1967, it was back to Interior Dept. HQ in Washington, DC I was assigned as Staff Assistant to the Secretary of the Interior, then transferred into the National Park Service (NPS) and moved back West to manage, first, Lake Mead, then Glen Canyon National Recreation Areas, then to Seattle, WA to oversee Management and Operations of the Parks in AK, WA, OR, ID and MT. In 1980, the Governor of UT asked me to become Executive Director of the UT Department of Natural Resources. From there, we "bounced" to IL (Dept. of Conservation) and back to AZ (Game and Fish). I retired in 1988, led RV Caravans throughout Mexico for 10 years and from then till now have been a City Magistrate in my adopted hometown of Page, AZ.
