Although Maynard didn’t say a lot, what he said was often full of humor. He spoke of both hard and fun times in the mid-west in the 1930’s. He told us that one day, he and his brothers were jumping from the barn loft onto the hay for his Grandma Lena’s cows and she chased them out with a pitchfork!Maynard lettered in baseball, basketball and track at Trent High School in S. Dakota. He proudly served in the United States Navy during the Korean War as a Radar man and saw many different countries during his service.Maynard was a great outdoorsman. He taught his sons to hunt, fish and to respect the land. He enjoyed camping out with family, especially his sister Irene and brother-in-law Duane Gleason. He loved children and always took time to listen to them.He was married to the love of his life, Barbara (Waade) for 58 years. They bought a small old farmhouse and five acres in Dalton Gardens in 1962. At that time, Dalton was in the middle of nowhere and co-workers asked him why the heck he moved all the way out there!He started work on the green chain in 1954 at Potlatch Lumber Mill and retired from the company in 1980 as the Purchasing Agent. After retirement, he worked at the Silver Lake Mall for several years.He was one tough ole Swede with a heart of gold. We all love and miss you Dad!!!
