Married my forever partner, Gretchen Buckner Schnieber in July 1975. Retired in 2007- Special Education teacher in Montana and Oregon for 32 years. Gretchen and I traveled extensively in our Airstream trailer; moved to Las Cruces, NM and lived there for 8 years, returned to Oregon Dec. 2015; Grandpa to two beautiful granddaughters and a grandson. Love to travel, garden, do volunteer work, walk my rescue Golden Retriever Cooper, and an active member of South Salem Lions Club. I still love back packing with long time close friends every summer. I loved distance running from 10k's to ultra distance. (ran Boston in '83) Started road running when my wife, Gretchen and I lived in Kalispell ('75 to "84) Lots of good memories running in Glacier Park in the Fall. Started my teaching career at Columbia Falls School District. I also coached junior high basketball, high school distance events and cross country. I also was the head coach for the Special Olympics team. A very rewarding and memorable opportunity. Both of our children were born in Kalispell, MT. In the summer of '84 we relocated to Salem, OR. where we raised our children and experienced life in the Pacific Northwest!
