I was born in Orofino, Idaho, to Vance Dobson and Dorothy Portfors Walrath Dobson. I grew up in Orofino where my parents were piano teachers. My dad also farmed the family homestead at Gilbert, a farming community 10 miles south of Orofino on the breaks of the Clearwater River. My husband Mike and I now live in my grandparents' farmhouse on the original homestead but also maintain a small home in Clarkston, WA.

I live 2.5 miles from the Gilbert Cemetery where many of my Dickson / Dobson ancestors are buried.
