Norman Massey

Norman Jay Massey, 88, was born on Jan. 27, 1935, near Garrison, North Dakota, the fifth child of Joseph and Pauline (House) Massey. The family farmed, but decided to move west for additional opportunities when Norman was around 10 years old. They settled in Toledo, Washington, and began logging and farming there. Norman attended school in Toledo and played high school football. Additional siblings were born and everyone was expected to pitch in around the Massey household. Between occasional exchanged punches, they always got along well.
