Carl Gidlund Correspondent

Name: Michael Saint

Age: 21

Hometown: I’ve lived in Coeur d’Alene for the past five years, ever since my father was transferred here from Dallas.

Occupation: I’m a general studies student at North Idaho College and work as a lube technician at Lett’s Auto Center.

Family: I’m single and live alone, but my mom, dad and sister also live in Coeur d’Alene.

Hobbies: Fishing, hunting and snowboarding.

What do you like about North Idaho? I like the quiet here, and the four seasons.

What do you like or dislike about the current season? I enjoy the heat and appreciate the fact that there’s so little humidity.

Favorite music: Country

Favorite TV show: “Hot Rod”

Favorite movie: “Saving Private Ryan”

Favorite spot in North Idaho? Why? I really like the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River. The fishing is good, and I enjoy camping there because there aren’t many people when you get far enough up the river.
