About Me

I grew up in Minnesota and California, went to college at UC Riverside, ran away from grad school at Northwestern to join the Peace Corps in 1965. Was a Volunteer 65-67, on PC staff in D.C. for a year, then back on staff in Turkey 68-70. Came to Wallowa County Oregon to spend a year with the OSU Extension Service in 1971, opened the Bookloft in 1976, became founding director of Fishtrap in 1988, and moved with Alvin Josephy’s books, to the new Josephy Center for Arts and Culture in 2012. I run the library, based on Josephy’s books, heavy on Indian affairs, especially Nez Perce. Have written a column for the local paper, the Wallowa County Chieftain, since 1988, and have a blog associated with the library as well as this new, I hope short-term affair re one-minute reflections on the Pandemic
