Before that, he was a sports writer for 29 years -- including 16 years as a sport editor at newspapers in Bozeman and Corvallis, Ore. Among Jeff's writing awards are a first place in the 2006 national Associated Press Sports Editors contest for his coverage of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Alaska. His stories currently appear in Montana Quarterly magazine and a variety of other publications. Sherry is a school teacher and has had a variety of jobs in the wine industry. Jeff and Sherry have three grown children and live on the Gallatin River west of Bozeman with their cat, Hobbs, two goats and a fluctuating population of laying hens.
