"Marvin Selsor from Oakville Missouri is 84 years young, and has been a prospector for three days---that’s right---3 days. Marvin, who has been married to a beautiful woman named Lucille for 62 years, has taken up prospecting as a hobby. His son Jon gave him this one- week trip as a present this past Christmas Season. Marvin then joined the G.P.A.A. in January 2003. Marvin told me he has worked the beach box and found gold, saw three moose out by Mystery Creek while he was trying to pan for gold and has generally been having a great time! He and Jon were met up here by their friends Al Sevener from Fresno California, and his son Mike Sevener from St. Louis Missouri. This is the third year that Al and Mike Sevener have been here."

I had the honor and privilege to grow up on the same property and have Grandfather and Grandmother as neighbors my entire childhood life. I spent thousands of days eating fig newtons, pecan twirls, Keebler fudge striped cookies, soup and drinking Cola with Grandpop at Grandmothers mail cluttered table. He taught me things like: How important Christ is, how to saddle and ride a horse, how to shovel manure, bent nails can be straightened, how one can touch their chin to their nose (haven't figured that one out yet), never back talk your mother or grandmother, never mess with his things on his dresser in "his room", your color of skin means nothing and when I'd bring a friend up on the hill to help with chores I learned that "One boy is a boy, two boys half boy and three boys no boy.
He seldom missed a home wrestling match while I was in high school and was always there for me when I needed him. He will be greatly missed and I can honestly say in an unbiased way that he is one of the greatest men and biggest inspirations that I have ever met.
