An avid outdoorsman and early environmentalist, J.B. grew up hunting and fishing; he continued to fly fish into his 90s. He and his father, along with Officer Don Price of the NM Fish and Game Division, were instrumental in establishing a haven in eastern NM for the wild life of the region, as well as preserving a small part of the Llano Estacado; now known as the Running Water Draw and the Ned Houk Park. He was an officer and active in the VFW for many years and participated and held office in the USS Hoggatt Bay Assoc.; hosting a highly successful Albuquerque ship's reunion in 2002. With a 5th wheel trailer, he and Paula traveled across the USA and went camping and fishing with dear friends for many years. He mastered fly tying, learned the art of Comanche Bead Work from a tribal member, grew gardens that fed family and neighbors and was always ready to lend a helping hand to others. In his late 60s, J.B. embraced the holistic health field and practiced herbology, reflexology and other energetic techniques.
