RICHARD DEAN HOUGHTON

He graduated from West Bremerton High School in 1963. For a short time he worked for his uncles as a hod carrier. When he was 20 years old, he enlisted in the US Army and entered basic training at Fort Ord, California. After serving his two years of active duty, he was transferred to the Army Reserve for the next 5 years. He worked as a cook and then became an instructor for new Army cooks. He was in the active reserve until he was honorably discharged in 1987 as Sergeant First Class (E7) and retired on April 1, 2005.

After he returned from active duty, he went to work for the Bremerton Naval Shipyard. During a reduction in forces (RIF), he moved to Boise, Idaho and worked as a mail carrier for the USPS.
