Quite a shock to me to read that "Doc" had died. We went through the chairs at the Ripert Elks a long time ago. And, I got my first pair of "specs" from him when he had his office opposite the court house in Rupert. He was a good man; a great conversationalist; a stylish dresser; a patient listener; a hilarious joke teller.
I am sorry for your loss...John Walsh New York

I am so very sad to read this. Dr Miles gave me my first glasses. I had incredibly bad eyes . I was able to see and it was amazing. Dale was a friend of my Dads (Tom Howarth) I hope they are together rejoicing their friendship through the years. What a fine man RIP prayers to family....Michelle Howarth Andersen
