Spouse:        Merle Collman
Children:  Nancy Elizabeth (Liza) Grandchildren:  Kiwani (13); Bonnie (11); Cody (9) Sophia (3) Rachael Grandchildren:  Hannah (4) and Wyatt (8 mos.)
CURRENT ACTIVITIES:  I have worked for ACBI Collections for 14 years.  I worked for the Register Guard for 12 years delivering papers on a motor route.  I also work for Pacific Equestrian Center (PEC).  My family and I are all very involved with horses.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST 40 YEARS:  After graduating from high school in '61, I married Danny Holt.  We lived in Eugene and Springfield and then moved to Tucson, AZ where we stayed for one year.  I moved back to Springfield and was divorced.  Worked for a year and met Merle Collman.  We married in Reno, NV and lived in Dexter for three years.  Liza was born there in '66.  Later moved to Springfield and Rachael was born there in '72.  Our family moved to Creswell where the girls grew up.  I had a horse 4-H club and the girls were also in FFA.  Liza went to the National Convention in Oklahoma City one year and met Dale Evans.  We raised Arabian horses.  We currently have Arabians and one Palomino Quarter Horse that is Rachael & my special project.  We rescued him from the meat market 1 1/2 years ago - he is now three & we are training him to ride.  Liza and Rachael both work at PEC also.  Liza trains horses and gives lessons.  All of her children ride and show horses.  The first weekend of June Kiwani won at a big Class A Arabian Show in Salem with my horse, Tio.  He was trained by Rachael.  My husband works for Wood Products Transport, Inc. driving truck.  My kids and grandchildren are the lights of my life.  Hannah's horse crazy too!  Wyatt's too young - but he's the cutest and happiest baby in the world.

Denio, NV


Before 8/01
I retired at 56 from the Eugene Water & Electric Board. I relocated in Denio, Nevada area shortly after retiring.  Denio is 100 miles north of Winnemucca, located on the Nevada side of the Southeast Oregon border.  It has a population of about 20 people with no store.   I go to Winnemucca, the closest town, to do my shopping.  I have horses and a couple of dogs.  I keep busy helping the local ranchers with their ranch work, work cattle, team rope, etc.  Ice fishing in the winter is nice, something you couldn't do in Eugene at least.  I have 40 acres with a new place on it. I even have a natural hot springs on my property.  It is very beautiful with desert mountains all around.  I was recently divorced, so now I live by myself with my animals.  But my local friends keep me busy much of the time.  Yes, I do like living in this remote part of the world, it seems to fit my personality.  I've only had my computer for a couple of months and love having it.  Nice way to stay in touch with the rest of the world.  Well, bye for now, Fred. 

7-5-02  Decided to update my bio.  Still live in Denio, and just not real sure when or if I might choose to sell out and move on.  Every time I travel to a Metro area I find getting back home to the peace and quiet of Denio very  refreshing.  Went to the Diamond Lake Campout and had a great time.  Went white water rafting down the Deschutes the other day, which was also a lot of fun.  Have been doing some four wheeling too and throwing in occasionally some plain ol' traveling.  Hope everyone is having a nice summer, Fred.

2009:   After loosing both spouses, Mike BeBout and I have become partners. We have known each other since third grade and have many friends and classmates in common.
 
We are very active and have many adventures that include biking, kayaking, hiking and volunteering. Biking tours in OR, ID, UT, The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany have been challenging but also fun. A train trip from Amsterdam to Florence, Italy included seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was magnificent. It must have been on my "bucket list".
 
We have hiked many places including Black Butte and Tam MacArthur Rim, which we led for the class campout in 2009. We were preparing to climb Mt. St. Helens. 
 
Over 20 Wilderness Volunteering trips have taken us to such places as a barrier island off the west coast of FL, Canyonlands in UT, Chaco Canyon National Historic site in NM, Klamath Marsh and John Day Wilderness in OR. Removing exotic and invasive plants, rolling old barb wire, pulling posts and building trails are some of the work that needs to be done to improve our country.
 
Looking forward to our 50th reunion.
