As a youngster, Tim and family lived in many places following his Mom's employment. His favorite home was Anderson Ranch Dam where he spent a wonderful year "roaming free." His treehouse stands to this day! During their time in Pasco, Washington, Ruth met and married Jim Humbird in 1955. Adding two beloved sisters to Tim's family, Andrea (Andy) and Michelle (Mickey).
