Son: Ron
Dunham who is thirty years old lives in Ohio. Ron works for the
Willamette Paper company (Now Warehouser). He has worked his way up
in his company to become a plant superintendent and is fortunate to
travel quite a lot for the company. His parents also say he is “one
of the nicest people you have ever met”, which I am sure is very true.
Jim and
Diane’s other family members are Daniel, A 150 POUND Rottwieller dog
and Boone, a very chubby beagle dog. Working full time and caring for
their pets keeps Manleys very busy.
Jim drives a
local freight truck out of Portland for Priority Freight. Jim
Graduated from Hillsboro High school and has some training in
Mechanical drafting but has it I his heart to drive and love what he’s
doing. He has been driving since 1982 and has worked for this company
for almost 2 years.
Diane works
for merry maid, house cleaning service. She originally worked for
them and then at forty decided to try clerical work. Later she became
a caretaker caring for our friend, Shirley Pate until Shirley passed
away. Now Diane is back a Merry Maids until something more interesting
comes along.
Jim was born
in Richmond, Or but his father was in road construction so the family
traveled a lot seeing country from Alaska to California, usually
coming back to this area in between. After Jim graduated he continued
to travel on his own and that is how met Diane, in Fresno Ca. Diane
was born in Bremerton Wa but raise in California.
After Jim and
Diane married they decided to come home to this area to be with their
families who finally settled in and around here. Unfortunately,
almost immediately after they came, their families separated and moved
away. Happily there are still some cousins, their extended family
around. Even thought Jim is a mover and would probably like to go,
Diane has her roots down. She loves Oregon and the changing seasons
and they both love Mt Olive Church, the minister and the
congregation. They came to Mt Olive over a year ago with their good
friend Shirley Pate.
Their
favorite hobby is gardening and they have a huge back yard and very
fertile soil to practice in. Diane is learning to can and they are
able to share their vegetables with their large family of neighbors.
Sunday
driving in the hills with their four wheel drive truck and dogs is
relaxing. Fishing and camping are other hobbies they haven’t had time
to do too often since coming back to Oregon. Could it be because
Diane can out fish Jim? |
