was born in Pittsburgh, PA, May 18, 1925. He enlisted in the army
in 1943 at the tender age of 17 and spent two years serving in
China, Burma and India. After returning home, he finished high
school and went to work for Gulf Oil Corporation. He moved to California
in 1952. He worked for Food Machinery & Chemical Company for 13
years and was a Reserve Deputy for the Riverside Sheriff’s Office
for 10 years. In 1967 he started work at the Public Works Office
at the Twentynine Palms Marine Base. During this time he was also
a San
Bernardino Reserve Sheriff’s Deputy and a member of the Sheriff’s
posse. After 13 years he transferred to Norton Air Force Base where
he worked for another 13 years. After being forced to retire because
the base closed, John started volunteering for Lutheran Braille
Workers. He was hired in 1996 and was assigned to the Large Print
Department
until retiring in July 2004. John was married to his wife, Scottie,
for nearly 45 years before her death in 2001. John started volunteering
for the Yucaipa Valley Chamber of Commerce in August 2004 and continues
to work every day in the office from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Karen Pope, Office Manager  Karen Pope - Native of Seattle WA, met and married a Yucaipa boy(Larry Pope) 39 years ago while he was stationed in Seattle and convinced him it was a great place to live. 4 yrs ago, Larry's Company(Road Tec) offered him a position in Southern California and we both decided to leave the rain and moss behind and settled in Cherry Valley. We have a daughter, Tennille age 27, currently working in Alaska for Aramark as Human Resource director. I have enjoyed 35 years of working in the dental profession but decided it was time for a change. When the position at the Chamber was presented to me, it was a perfect transition, as Larry and I have spent many wonderful hours volunteering for our church, daughters school and other community projects. I embrace the opportunity in supporting our local businesses. |
