My folks lived in Wapello at first and later in Blackfoot proper. I commuted to Poky to go to ISU and spent my summer vacations (93-97) working for the Black Hills Central in Hill City, SD. I started working at the diesel shop in Poky in 1997, spent seven months in '98 at the old/new Hinkle Shop as a 'co-op engineer' (aka: college kid flunkie), came back to Poky for one more semester and then was christened as a manager at Hinkle in Feb of '99. In the end, I ended up here in Ellensburg working towards a Ph.D. in anthropology. I make it back to Blackfoot once or twice a year to see my parents and some of my old friends I met while at Idaho State.
