My Life:
I married Lynn Deeds on June 23rd, 1967. Lynn’s job, when we got married, was in telephone and power construction, so we moved a lot, mostly in the western States. The farthest away that we moved, was to the island of Guam - where he put underground cable in. It was definitely a tropical paradise. We decided to settle in Salmon in 1977, so our daughter could attend a high school. We’ve been here ever since. We do have some hobbies, although my husbands hobby is “Work”. I love raising flowers and even start my own seedling in our greenhouse. I plant plenty for family and friends. We do a lot of camping in the summer. Also, ride ATV’s when ever we can as we both have our own machines, that is something we totally enjoy and can take our dogs with us.
Hobbies: Gardening, Raising Flowers, Camping and riding ATV's

They both enjoyed camping and four wheeling in the Salmon Valley. She enjoyed friends and their many get togethers and luncheons, gardening and flowers, but having her dogs by her side made the days even brighter.
