Milton L. Snyder, Ph.D. announces the publication of his memoirs:
"Maybe Milton Should Go Work in the Woods"
Snyder was born in Weippe, ID in 1929, the son of Milton
Cooper Snyder and Marie Pritchard Snyder.
Grandparents John W. Snyder, Mary Cooper Snyder, and Jessie Lee
Jordan Pritchard Snyder all migrated
to Idaho from Harmon, West Virginia. Grandfather Walter Icen Pritchard, a United Brethren Methodist minister,
remained a West
Virginia resident.
Wanting future generations to know about their ancestors and origins, Snyder chronicles his early life on the farm
and woods, stories about his relatives, and the impact education has had on his life.
Snyder moved to Lewiston, ID after the death of his father. After graduation from Lewiston High School, he
attended Lewis Clark State College, known then as North Idaho College of Education, B.A. 1951.
Service in the Korean War interrupted Milt’s educational plans, but eventually he earned an M.A. in Educ.
Admin., 1959, University of Washington, and a Ph.D. in Leadership and Human Behavior, 1973, at United States
International Univ., now known as Alliant International Univ., in San Diego. Milt has served as Teacher and
Principal at Sunnyside and Richland, Washington, superintendent of schools for Anacortes, Marysville, and
Federal Way School Districts in Washington State, Deputy Superintendent of Schools in Oakland, California, and
Division Superintendent for Prince William County Schools in Manassas, Virginia. He also served as Deputy
