Some of you may have known my wife Susan. She was a very
unique woman who worked extremely hard on everything she did. During our years
in Nevada, on the farm there, we produced organic vegetables and and a wide
variety of potato seed. We sold that farm in 1991 and bought the farm on the
Tongue River just south of Miles City in 1992. We called it the Tongue River
Farm and started out boarding cattle and doing management intensive grazing. We
did very well on this project and I will have to say that we would have never
been successful without Susan’s management skills. We finally moved into the
Icelandic Sheep business where once again Susan’s superior management skills
proved remarkable and we ended up with the largest flock of Icelandic sheep in
the United States. I do think, she was also able to have bred and selected the
finest flock outside of Iceland and possibly even Iceland. We started going in
different directions (me toward retirement and motorcycles) and she wanted to
continue breeding sheep. We divorced a few years ago after selling the farm. She
moved to Missouri and continued with her sheep project. Unfortunately she
contracted leukemia, which finally took her life. Her family and many friends
will miss her.
