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. After we retired from teaching we moved to the LasVegas area and worked for a company based there and had sales positions traveling across the USA. We did that for 4 years. The next 41/2 years we spent in Blackfoot, Idaho taking care of my wifes mother. We are now living in South Jordan, Utah. We have been called on a Family &amp; Church History Mission and serve in the Joseph Smith Mem. Bldg. We were assigned to the Data Quality Zone and work with tthe wikifamilysearch team. Very new to this area so will learn and grow as time goes by.
