HOUCHIN , Robert HOUCHINS , John HOUCHINS , Francis HOUCHINS , Edward HOUCHINS , Edward ) was born on 3 Jul 1919 in Long Lake, Lincoln Co., Washington. He died on 28 Sep 2004 in Spokane, Spokane Co., Washington. He was buried on 5 Oct 2004 in Spokane, Spokane Co., Washington, Riverside Cem.

BIOGRAPHY:   Clyde grew up in Long Lake, Washington where his father worked at the Long Lake Dam on the Spokane River.  He attended school there in a one room schoolhouse until he was high school age.  He then moved into Spokane and boarded there while attending North Central High School.  After high school, he moved to Los Angeles and worked there for a short time.  While he was there, he was injured when he was hit by a bus.  Soon after this, the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred and he attempted to enlist in the military, but was rejected due to the after effects of his injury.  He then returned to Colville, Washington where he worked driving a truck for a local distribution company owned by his cousin Darrell Newland.  He was drafted into the Army about April of 1942. His enlistment record dated 22 Apr 1942 in Spokane states his occupation category as "Semiskilled chauffeurs and drivers, bus, taxi, truck, and tractor".
 He served in the US Army Air Corps during World War II.  He  was stationed in Burbank, California at the Lockheed factory to train for work as a mechanic on the Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter.  He was then stationed at Santa Rosa and San Diego with P-38 squadrons.  He was later assigned overseas duty in India where he worked on C-46 transport aircraft which were flying supplies into China.
 After the war he began working with Old National Bank in Reardan, Washington.
The story of his hiring is told in an article about his retirement, where he "didn't really want to go to work for the bank back in 1946.  A friend had told him about a teller opening at the Reardan branch and suggested he call for an interview.  Clyde didn't call.  One month later, Reardan's branch manager (a friend of Clyde's friend) called Clyde.  Recently out of the service, Clyde decided that the $100-per-month teller's salary wasn't much, but that he would make do until he found something better somewhere else."  It was while working there that he met his wife Marjorie Weipert.  They lived in Spokane after being married.  Clyde continued his career with the bank at the Fairchild, Garland, Manito, and North Division branches in the Spokane area.  He worked as a teller, loan officer, and then later became manager of the Manito branch (September 1960) and Garland branch (1969).  He retired August 1st, 1981.
 After Marjorie died in 1965, he remarried in 1971 to Corinne (Bullard) Jones.
 The new combined family now consisted of six children, three from each side.
During his retirement years, Clyde has enjoyed traveling to places in Europe, the Caribbean, and especially Hawaii.  He also plays golf and has done volunteer work for his church and the local Lions Club.

Clyde married Marjorie Ellen WEIPERT, daughter of Frank William WEIPERT and Clara Eleanor GOLLEHON, on 11 Sep 1947 in Reardon, Lincoln, Washington. Marjorie was born on 3 Nov 1925 in Spokane, Spokane Co., Washington. She died on 10 May 1965 in Spokane, Spokane Co., Washington.

BIOGRAPHY: Marjorie grew up on her father's wheat farm which was six miles southwest of Reardan, Washington on the Edwall road.  She attended school in Reardan and then attended college at the University of Washington in Seattle where she earned her Bachelor degree in Music and was a member of the Phi Mu sorority.  She graduated after the summer quarter in 1946.  She then returned to Reardan and worked for the Lincoln County Auditor's office in Davenport, Washington.
She met her husband Clyde C. Houchin while he was working at the Reardan branch of the Old National Bank.  They were married at her parent's home in Reardan and took a trip through Oregon for their honeymoon.  They had their first home in an apartment on South Madison street.
She worked as a piano teacher and had a studio in the basement of their home at 3609 North Audubon street in Spokane.  She had two pianos and room sufficient for holding student recitals.  She was a member of the Spokane Music Teachers Association and the Accredited Music Teachers Association.
