Val J. Mortenson



Cowboy,
Teacher,
Firefighter,
Bronco rider,
Sheep shearer,
Hard-worker,
Hard-headed,
Nomex-wearin',
Never met a stranger,
Boots on all the time,
Loved Diamond,
Cola drinkin',
Latter Day Saint,
Rarely smiled for pictures,
Hard on tools,
Easy to feed,
Preferred not to eat olives,
Loved mutton,
Black bananas and vanilla wafers,
Frustrating,
Outdoors man,
Never wore new,
Took a few tumbles,
Had a few helicopter rides,
