Bret graduated from Oregon College of Education at Monmouth, Oregon with an
Associate of Arts degree in 1981. Bret met his wife-to-be Jane while
attending college. They married in 1982 and returned to his hometown of
Enterprise, Oregon, where they worked in his family’s electrical
contracting business. Bret joined Sumpter Valley Railroad Restoration in
1998, which is a nonprofit group most noted for running the steam railroad,
near Baker City, Oregon. Throughout the years he has researched and
contributed historical materials to the organization. This led to his
appointment as SVRR’s archivist in 2013. Now in semi retirement, he looks
forward to having more time to devote to the archives.



Thank you,
