Robert R. Klamt, M.D., FAPA
Robert R. Klamt, M.D., FAPA of Eagle, father, friend, and physician, passed away in a Boise hospital on December 9, 2008. He was 88.
Dr. Klamt was born and raised in Ashton on the Snake River Plain, a land he loved for its rivers, creeks, forests, mountains, and isolation. Upon graduating in pharmacy from the University of Idaho, Southern Branch, in 1942, he enlisted in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. On April 2, 1943, he married his college sweetheart, Valene M. Skinner of Conda, to whose charm he attributed receiving Naval orders to Creighton University Medical School the next year. Following internship and discharge from the Navy, he briefly practiced medicine in Basin, WY, before returning to Snake River country to settle in St. Anthony.
Dr. Klamt’s medical career spanned more than 50 years. He practiced general medicine and surgery in St. Anthony for 20 years, interrupted by the Korean conflict and Naval service as Ship’s Surgeon off the coasts of Korea and Japan. In 1969 he entered internship in psychiatry in Ukiah, CA. He practiced psychiatry as a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, primarily in the Modesto, CA, area, then as locum tenens and consultant for many institutions around the United States until his retirement in 1999.
Dedicated to bettering medicine throughout his career, Dr. Klamt was instrumental in organizing the construction of Fremont General Hospital in St. Anthony. While practicing in California, he established a post-graduate oncology course at Stanford University; a psychiatric education program for residents in the Family Practice Program, UC Davis School of Medicine, Scenic General Hospital, Modesto, where he also taught for several years; and an impaired physician program for the Stanislaus Medical Society. Always active in numerous medical associations, he gave frequent seminars and lectures in his areas of special interest and expertise, psychosomatics and child and adolescent psychiatry.
Dr. Klamt was above all an outdoorsman, sharing his love of the mountains, deserts, and ocean with his family and friends. That love was nurtured through his childhood in Ashton, then his life in St. Anthony. Fly fishing was his passion, and he created a number of original dry fly patterns for use in the western United States. He loved exploring and the adventure it brought in the great out-of-doors, whether in the Tetons, the Utah desert, the Sierra, or the rugged coastal ranges of California. He was an avid skier, fearless river rafter, and a crack shot with both hand and long guns.
Dr. Klamt also enjoyed piloting small aircraft to and from locum tenens venues in the Sierra. Throughout his life he was a woodworker, a craft he learned from his German immigrant father. Later in life he took up painting in watercolor the wilderness he loved, and began recording his life in essays that are as colorful as he.
Dr. Bob, Dad, will be remembered by many for many things, not least of which his infinite curiosity, deep sentiment, and dry wit. Those who knew him will appreciate his quip to the paramedics on being wheeled to the ambulance for his last ride to the ER. They asked him if he were injured. He replied: “Not yet!”
He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Valene; children Tina, Dianna (Jon Lough), Bob Jr.(Jackie), and Joe (Ann); grandchildren Christopher Eaton and Joe J., Jocelyn, and Adrienne Klamt; and nephew Stew Pickford (Lisa).
We will celebrate Dad’s life with an open house at the Cloverdale Funeral Home Reception Center, 1200 North Cloverdale Road, Boise, from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, February 21, 2009. Another celebration is planned for the late spring in the Ashton area, and will be noticed separately.
We ask that if you are moved, donations go to the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (https://www.alzfdn.org - or - 322 8th Ave, 7th Floor, New York City, NY 10001) or the South Fremont Education Foundation in 855 Bridge Street, St. Anthony, ID. 83445.
Mildred Logsdon Warne
Mildred Logsdon Warne passed away Wednesday, December 10, 2008 in California.
Visitation will be from 4 - 8 p.m. Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at Fairhaven Memorial Park Mortuary, 1702 Fairhaven Avenue, Santa Ana, CA.. Graveside services is at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, December 17 at Santa Ana Cemetery, 1919 E. Santa Clara Avenue, Santa Ana, CA.
Here is Mildred’s story, which she wrote herself last year for her local newspaper:
I was born in Oakland California February 16, 1914. Father Gird Logsdon, Mother Lillian Schoppert Logsdon. I grew up in the city of Costa Mesa, Calif. At that time it was a village with two stores, a grocery store and a feed store. However there were lots of families with children. We took excursions to Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Huntington Beach, and San Diego. My childhood was full of lots of family and fun and game . I have two sisters, Neva and Bea, and one brother, Leonard.
In June of 1932 I graduated with the first class of Newport Harbor High School. I had top honors and was a speaker at my graduation. The week after graduation I married my high school sweetheart, Raymond Warne. We settled down and made Costa Mesa our home. We have two children, Bill born in 1933 and Mary born in 1934. They were both born at the “new” St. Joseph Hospital in Orange.
Time passed by and 1941 brought World War II. I went to work for Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach. I worked graveyard shift for four years. Raymond worked days at South Coast Shipyards. They made mine sweepers for the government. By working those shifts we were able to take care of our children.
After the war we bought ten acres in the hills of Tustin, Lemon Heights. We grew avocadoes on the land. Ray built a beautiful home for us to live in on the hill. Bill and Mary went to Tustin High School. Bill started raising quarter horses and is still doing that. I went to work at Safeway Stores and was a grocery checker for many years.
In 1953 Raymond and I sold the Lemon Heights place and bought two apartment houses in Santa Ana — on North Broadway (where we lived), and one on Ross Street near the Civic Center.
We lived there for about eight years and then moved back to Costa Mesa into a single house. No more apartment living. We bought an Airstream travel tralier and joined the Wally Bryon Travel Club and started traveling during the summer.
In 1960 I decided to go to college and become a teacher. I went to Santa Ana College and Chapman College. I was lucky to be able to teach first grade at the El Toro Marine School for 17 years. It was a state of California School, but most all of the children had Marines for fathers. That time was really a highlight of my life. I retired from teaching when I was 61 years old.
The year 1963 took us on another venture. Ray and I bought some land in Panorama Heights above Orange. Ray took a year off work and built us a beautiful new home with a view of the whole east and north of Orange County; we even could see Catalina Island on a clear day. We lived there until April of 2002.
In 1964 we traveled the Alcan Highway to Alaska and spent the summer seeing all the sights. We always took our dachshund dog, Molly Brown, with us.
In our travels we discovered the place of our dreams, Henry’s Lake, in Island Park, Idaho, 17 miles form Yellowstone National Park. We joined a co-op group of friends and built a camp on the lakefront for nine couples to camp in their travel rigs during the summer. We were called the “Ding a Ling Group.”
In 1979 Ray and I bought a summer cabin on Henry’s Lake front which I still own. We spent our summers from April until October there. Ray fished and I enjoyed time to paint and do crafts and spend time with friends and family. It was our second home. My family still enjoys spending time there during the spring and summer.
We ended up owning three different Airstream trailers, each one bigger. We traveled with them until Raymond was 85 years old. I still enjoy going to the Airstream meetings and seeing all my old friends from our traveling days.
In 1980 my daughter, Mary, and I took a wonderful trip to Hawaii. We went on a tour with several of our friends from Costa Mesa. We spent 14 days there and visited four islands. In 1983 I went to Europe with some of the same friends from Costa Mesa. We went on a Globes Tour for two weeks and got to see so many countries and sights. In 1988 Mary and I went to New York City and took a tour bus to Niagara Falls and Washington DC and then back to New York City for two days to see the sights there. In 1990 Ray and I took a cruise ship from Florida threw the Panama Cannel to Mexico and flew home. In 1993 Ray and I joined a group of our friends from Costa Mesa and also Island Park and went on a tour to China. We walked the Great Wall of China and ate lots of rice. It was a most interesting trip. There were 30 some people on the trip that were our friends which made it a lot of fun. In 1994 we went with some of the same friends to Australia and New Zealand. What a beautiful country. Lots of young people there.
Ray and I were able to travel pulling our Airstream trailer up to Henry’s Lake until 1997. For the next three years Mary and Dohn took Ray so he could go fishing and have a vacation.
In April 2002 my husband Raymond passed away from complications of diabetes. We were married 70 years. I sold our house and gave the car to Bill and moved to Canyon Hills Club in May 2002. In December 2005 I moved into assisted living at the club. Thanks to all of you for making my stay here a happy time.
I treasure my family. My daughter Mary and her husband Dohn Gilbert live in Placentia. My son Bill and his wife Kathy live in Eagle Point, Oregon. I have five grand children, Suzanne Walker, Marianne Friedberg, Dohna Anderson, William Dana Warne, and Shelley Warne; 11 great grandchildren, Joshua Walker, Teresa Jessee, Ryan Walker, Sarah Walker, Jason Anderson, Heather Anderson, James Warne, Mason Warne, Christian Warne, Breanne Friedberg, Noelle Friedberg; five great great grandchildren, Jonah Walker, Luke Walker, Malia Walker, Ben Jessee, Atticus Jessee; a sister, Neva Dunklin, who lives in Pasadena Calif.; a brother, Leonard Logsdon, who lives in Stanton Calif.; and a sister, Bea Cunningham who lives in Yuma Arizona.
I am now 94 years old and what a wonderful and blessed life I have had. Thank God for my family and friends. — Mildred Warne
