My Dad:
My Dad's name is Philip Lee Johnshoy. He grew up in the tiny town of Starbuck and graduated from Starbuck High school. He then went onto college at North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton. There he got his degree in Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning, and Ventilating. Making him a Mechanical Contractor. After college he met a girl named Cindy, who little did he know lived less than 10 miles from him his whole life. He stole her purse, and this was the beginning of a great friendship that grew into love. The couple got married on December 8th, 1979.
