My name is Garreth Bogar. With a rather uncommon name, if one were to google it, you would get just one person--me. I was born in Coulee Dam, Washington so tell everyone I was a dam baby when I was born and grew up as a dam kid. I even took it further and after graduation from college, I went on a dam mission (Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Schiedam) I felt that was about enough of the "dam" stuff so when we named our 1st. son after a city in the Netherlands, we dropped the "dam" part and his name is Schie.

For my education, I recieved my BS from Washington State U. in Pullman, Wash. After my mission I started going to grad school during the summers and recieved my MS from Brigham Young U. in Provo, Utah in 1967. For the next many summers, I took classes in Biology and Botony.

For my work-a-day life, I taught school. That was mostly in Physical Education and in the Middle School grades. Most of my 37 years were in California with the final 31 years in Fairfield, California.
