John Atwood

2005 Profile

Spouse: Gracie

Resides: Hardin, Montana

Graduated from Big Bend Community College in 1967. Got married September 1969, graduated from Montana State in 1970; went to work for USDA-ASCS in Hardin, Montana, in May of 1972. Stayed at that office manager job for 30 years and retired in July 2002.

Have three children: Shannon (ER Nurse in Great falls, two grandkids); Tona (teacher at Sommers, near Kalispell, Montana, with two children). The girls both have wonderful husbands that Gracie and I hunt and fish with often. Steve, my son will be married September 10, 2005; otherwise I would be attending this 40th reunion. Steve works in Miles City, Montana, for the Fish, Wildlife and Parks.

My wife of 36 years has been my continuous partner in life - hunting and fishing over 100 days a year, skiing and riding a Harley.

Life has been good at the Atwood's. I certainly have no regrets. I have been back to Ephrata only once in 1975, but I have fond memories of it. Hope to see everyone at the 50th
