As a young man he dreamed of going “out west.” To accomplish that he went to Syracuse University and got a degree in forestry.

Milt and Ginny raised 2 children, Michelle and Kenneth. In 1968 Milt was transferred to Prineville, where he continued in his work for the Bureau, retiring in 2000. Milt loved the outdoors. He was an avid hunter and even taught his city girl wife to enjoy camping. He spent a lot of time gardening and horseback riding, and he was very involved in the community and in his church. In 1998 Ginny passed away, and 3 years later he married Georgia Wolf. They resided in Redmond for the next 20 years enjoying retirement and traveling.
