Question 2
Meridian High School gave me a very good basic education. I will always be grateful to those teachers who helped me to learn. Also, the Meridian area was a place that was filled with good people, many who were my friends and helped me as I grew-up. No matter where I live, Meridian will always be “home” and its people will always be “my people”.
Question 1
Coming to school one morning and seeing a portable toilet on top of the main entry canopy over the front door.
Question 3
I don't recall doing anything really bad. However, one of the blessings of being older is that you forget certain things you really don’t want to remember, so who knows?
Question 4
Debbie and I have been married for over 36 years and she is still the bride of my youth. Our oldest son, Brian is a Part-Owner and Manager of an automobile repair facility; LTS Motors in Boise, Idaho. Our second son, Brent is a Patent Attorney in Irvine, California. Our daughter Rebecca’s husband just graduated from Law School and will be working in Nevada as an attorney. All three of our children are married to wonderful spouses and they have blessed us with 12 grandchildren.
Question 5
I have been very fortunate to have been able to work in a profession that I am proud of and have really enjoyed. I was twelve years old when I discovered Architecture in the “A” book of the World Book encyclopedia and it turned out to be a great profession for me. You can follow my work at the following link: jldougalarch.blogspot.com
Question 7
I believe that the teacher was Judith Cooper. She was a young woman who taught a Remedial English class in my junior year. I had a history of struggling with English and she helped me to understand it better than any teacher before. Due to her diligence with me, my ACT scores where such that I was able to skip the first semester of college English. I also appreciate Milton Nielsen, the shop teacher. He introduced me to Drafting and Architecture and encouraged me to do things that I had a talent for. They were teachers that really made a difference and I will always appreciate them.
Question 6
We all find that there are some talents we do not have and skills that are just too difficult. Most people seem to concentrate on these deficiencies and as a consequence develop a poor self-concept. I suggest that one of the ways we can succeed is to concentrate on those talents and skills we have and to improve upon them. Forget about the things you can’t do and focus on those you can. This allows us to discover that there are things you can actually do better anyone else. Make this your life’s work or profession and you will succeed!

Gary Clancy riding his horse into the school building.
Question 4
Working as a secretary for 35+ years and eventually as personal secretary to the CEO of Boise Cascade. My husband and I have had 38 blissful years of marriage and have two children. Rachel is 39 years old and lives in Ohio with her family. She has 5 children. The oldest graduated from high school this year, and the youngest is 1-1/2 years old. Our son, Nathan, lives in Milwaukie, Oregon and is an architect with a well-known firm in downtown Portland. He has a wife and two children. We spend a lot of time traveling to see both children. We feel very blessed to both be retired at this point in our lives. The last 3 winters, we have spent increasingly more time in Mesa, Arizona, where we take our fifth-wheel RV. Last winter, we spent 5 months there and plan to go back again next winter. We enjoy traveling in our RV and hope to do more in the years to come. We have had the opportunity to travel to a number of "exotic" locations in the Caribbean and Hawaii and also took a cruise to Alaska.
Question 5
Music is still a big part of my life. I play the piano at our church and sing in the choir. I'm also a member of a chorale when wintering in Arizona. I play the piano and sing in that group. I also enjoy having connections with many friends and family members and maintaining those relationships. I became a Christian after marrying my husband, and knowing Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior has made a huge difference in my life. It gives me great hope for the future despite the dismal news reports we hear today!

I remember this one classmate, his last name was Flock. I thought he was a flock of geese. He was always into aliens. He could have been an unidentified fried object. I don't know. Ha-Ha.

She said "Hey!" again, and everybody said "What?". Then she pointed to a hay bale.
Question 3

Question 2
After living and going to school in Boise until my freshman yr, it was great to suddenly find myself living in farm country. So many of the classmates seemed so down to earth, and it gave me a real appreciation for life outside the city.
Question 1
I guess it was when we were Juniors. Had P.E. with coach Brooks. One day in the shower room 3 of the seniors started tossing a couple of the juniors out the back door of the shower room naked, in full view of the Freshman Annex across the way. The door was locked from the outside, so the naked guys had to run around to the end of the weight room to get back in. They grabbed me and I started swinging. By then the guys that had been tossed out had made it back in and told coach Brooks. He showed up just in time to keep me from getting pounded into the floor, then tossed out the door.
Question 3
The time several of us high-jacked a full keg of beer out the back door of the Black Cat Inn for a kegger, while the bar was open.
Question 4
I guess my greatest success has been the simple goal to live and work in the wide open spaces and not be stuck in suburbia. For 10 yrs I was a licensed back-country hunting, fishing and wilderness pack trip guide, and also a licensed white water river guide on 10 of Idaho's rivers. 20 yrs of fighting wild-land fires followed, both as an engine Captain for the Forest Service and also as a private contractor with a tactical tender with foam. Worked at Bogus basin 16 winters and started the first horse back trail rides outfitting business there. Have lived on 2 different foothills cattle ranches pretty much the whole time, for 30 yrs.
Question 5
My greatest passion is to live in peace and harmony with mother nature. It's not always peaceful, everything seems to get eaten by something else in the long run, but it beats arguing with neighbors 30 ft. away.
Question 7
Mr. Brown. While what he taught was math, he's the teacher that got me interested in History. His stories of his bombing missions over Europe, eventually leading to his being shot down, captured by the Germans, and spending the rest of the war in a P.O.W camp were fascinating to me. Whenever we didn't want to do math, all we had to do was get him going on his war stories.
Question 6
Nothing stays the same forever, not even the mountains. After watching them burn bare for 20 yrs, I realized even they change over time.

Question 3
Well, there was a squirt gun incident that my good friend Sheila and I got caught at. We did get in trouble as we sat in the principal's office and Mr. Turnbull smiled at us the whole time. Today I'm sure that the likes of a squirt gun would get you kicked out of school.
Question 4
I'd have to say that in spite of ourselves, our greatest success is our children. We are so proud of them; they have been such a gift and blessing to us.
Question 5
What I most enjoy in my life today are our precious grandkids. (Now I know why they call it being a grandparent, it is GRAND!) We are long distant grandparents so we try to come up with creative ways to share our lives with them and when we are with them we cherish each moment together.
Question 7
I would have to say that there were two favorite teachers of mine at Meridian High; Beverly Hendry who encouraged my love for sports and Ron Van Order who helped develop my love for music.

Mr. Helgeson didn't think much of my attitude toward him in Alg. II and invited me to not take any more math classes! My (what I thought were) sneaky remarks about him, got me in trouble then, and I was mortified when he talked to me.
Question 4
My greatest success is raising two grown fully-functioning adult boys. They and their families bring me great joy in my life, along with my wonderful husband who has put up with me for over 38 years.
Question 5
My passion is to love God with all my heart, soul, and mind.

I have learned it is better to act than react. In other words, if you can look in the mirror and know who you are and you are true to who you are and what you believe, there is no reason to let other peoples actions cause you to sway from that integrity. You will then not be easily offended or influenced to partake of gossip or negative behaviors that others may try to inflict on you. It is easier then to be less judgmental and more forgiving.
