He attended school at Shelley and after Finishing High School he enlisted in the U. S. Navy. Ross served in the Navy Medical Corps for 4 years. He served on a Navy Destroyer and later was transferred to Alameda Naval Air Station at Alameda, California where he was discharged. After being discharged from the Navy, Ross went to work on construction at Alameda. He worked for a large construction company there for a few years and finally moved back home to Idaho. During this time Ross and Ellen were married and had 3 children. Two sons and a daughter. They have been blessed with 8 Grandchildren and 2 Great Grandchildren. After moving home Ross went to work for his brother at L.N. Johnson Paving and Construction company. In 1973 Ross and Ellen bought a small home in Iona. In that same year Ellen went to work for School Dist. 93 as a cook. In 1974 Ross went to work for the City of Iona. Ellen worked for 17 years and was forced to retire due to back problems. Ross, 28 years later, is still working for the City of Iona. He has really enjoyed working for the City. He has stated many times that it has been a good job that he has enjoyed very much and grateful to have it. In 1977 Ross was deputized for the City of Iona and he took that job very seriously. He immediately ordered a new set of handcuffs. He picked them up at the Post Office one day at noon hour and went directly home to check them out. He accidentally locked them on his left wrist and then discovered that there was no key with them. Being very embarrassed, he had to get a sheriff's deputy to unlock them. Ross attended the Police Academy in Boise. While there, he learned among other things to always have a handcuff key. But, seriously Ross has said he has always enjoyed the job and has been very grateful to serve the City and the people. " " " " ROSS IS �� RETIRING Help us honor Ross for his years of service to Iona. The City of Iona invites you to our City Council meeting on January 16, 2002, at 6:30 PM. Refreshments will be served.
