Jerry and Cheryl Behler Wallace

Cheryl and Jerry met in 1968 and were married on August 30, 1969 while we were attending the University of Idaho, and now

have three children: Keith (36), Brian (33) and Angie (31). We left Moscow for a brief time to work in Spokane and then returned to Moscow where we each worked for the University for about 30 years (Cheryl is still working there for a little bit longer). We have lived in our current Moscow home for the past 31 years, and also have our "urban cabin", a home in southeast Boise where we spend a little time every month close to our Boise based children, business partners and friends, and all of those "urban" things that us ole farm kids seldom experienced. Cheryl grew up on a farm on the Camas Prairie, Lewis County and Jerry grew up on a farm in Paradise Valley, Boundary County.

We have enjoyed opportunities to travel over the years and have visited 44 states and eight countries (so far). And, we have a travel trailer which is still our favorite mode of escape from the day-to-day realities. We still truly appreciate Idaho and the northwest and continue to explore and enjoy the great privilege of living in the northwest and close to family. We do have fond memories of our visits elsewhere and often reflect on those "special moments" that we have experienced with family and friends, and the occasional strangers during our travels.

For any of those that remember my wide array of childhood sketches of companies bearing the "Ace" company name; Cheryl and I and five of our close friends from Boise and Moscow areas have actually formed a development company, but the name is IdaBuild, not Ace. It has evolved as a great way to blend the various interests we have, provide reason to frequently spend time together, and to enjoy the very fulfilling experience of building things together. We have continued to pray for guidance and here we are, old geezers feeling like kids in a sandbox. What joy!

Our son Keith, a computer applications engineer, married Maureen Van Horn, a physical therapist, in 2002 and they have our only grandchild (so far), a daughter Sarah Joelle, and they work in Bozeman and live in Belgrade, MT. Our son Brian, an archeologist, and daughter Angie, an information systems specialist, both work and live in Boise within a couple of miles of our "urban cabin".

We've been blessed in our faith and with great family, good health, fun opportunties, and joyful anticipation of our next phase(s) of life. And, we're looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion.
