What was your Career?
THE COWBOY WAY
Upon graduation from Central Kitsap High School in Silverdale, I spent 6 years in the Marine Corps.
After my discharge I fished on a long liner in the Bering Sea and the North Pacific. This is where I came to believe in the power of mother nature. Often times we were in 40ft seas with the wind blowing between 80 to 100 mph.
I later worked as a cowboy. My favorite job. The hours were long and the pay short. The awards were being outdoors and working with some of the greatest people I have ever known and became a team with a great, athletic, 1,000lb animal. Even after not working as a cowboy I always kept horses up until a couple of years ago. After cowboying I went to work in the woods in the forests of Enumclaw area. After that I found a job on the Seattle waterfront at a cold storage warehouse where I retired from in 1975.
