After attending college for a year, John worked construction and farmed for three years. He then joined the navy and was discharged this past January after serving four years. While in the navy, John was deployed twice to Asia and North Korea, with his last deployment being part of an extended stay. This tour was part of the President’s Ballistic Missile Defense. |
|
After John’s discharge from the service, he attended firefighting School in Ohio and received his certification. John stated he would be very willing to serve on our local fire department and looks forward to the opportunity. John also hopes to expand his knowledge in farming, another interest of his, and enjoys diesel mechanics. These reasons, when combined with his job choice and his desire to be close to family, make Westby a very good good place for him to call home. The common theme of many of “The New Resident Series” stories has been the desire to return to |
|
“an old fashioned way of life.” As John says, “A morally stable community. One where everyone looks after their own. That’s what I’m looking for. That feeling has left Kalispell and I feel it still lives here.” Sometimes we never know what we’ve got until we lose it. There is a lesson in this for all of us. |

It may sound like a worn out cliché, but “an old fashioned way of life” is what brought our newest resident to Westby. John Harmon, who has only called Westby home for little more than a month, had decided on truck driving as a profession and with ample opportunities in this field, narrowed his choices to small town communities. With that in Mind, John chose to work for Diamond B Trucking owned and operated by Westby resident Steve Bowman and, at present, is living with his Uncle and Aunt, Daryl and Donna Sorenson, in Westby. John, who will be 26 the end of this month, has been busy since his graduation from Kalispell High School.
