SD: Local Boy Phay Makes Good

OrangeTV has a new batch of vintage photos posted on his Remember The Roxy web site today, including this one of the old Templin’s restaurant in the 1960s. I’ve been here long enough to have eaten at the restaurant. Which became Murphy’s for a short period after Duane Hagadone/Jerry Jaeger grabbed Templin’s, the old North Shore, and the Western Frontiers hospitality empire from Bob Templin in 1983. Did you ever eat at Templin’s or Cloud 9 of the old North Shore Resort?

Outstanding In His Field: Jared Phay probably doesn’t know me from a hole in the ground, but I’m gonna congratulate him anyway. I know Jared, his mother and his grandparents. I even got to know his uncle, the detective, via email. Jared, who coaches basketball at North Idaho College, was just named Region 18 coach of the year after a stellar season with his NIC Cardinals. I watched Jared play basketball back in the mid-‘90s. That was when he was attending Falls Christian School, and our son Willie was playing basketball for Sandpoint High/ Marianne Love , Slight Detour. More here .
