Robert Owletuck
Truck Driver

Robert "Bucko" Owletuk was born here in Marshall on the 17th of June, 1968. He grew up and went to school here in Marshall, and he graduated from Marshall High School in 1987.

He has worked for two years now with the Water and Sewer Dept. and plans to work until next summer when they are done with the project. He took the job because he was interested in the good pay that it offered.

Bucko didn't need any prior training for the job because they just wanted drivers. He has received some training since he got the job, though. Recently he received training as a Power Plant Operator.

He likes his job because it helps the time go by faster than it would if he was doing nothing. He also likes working outside. He likes the good pay too, although he doesn't like driving so much.

Bucko has two kids that he helps support. He has a daughter Alexandra, and a son Michael. When his children are sick he wants to stay home and be with them to make sure that they are okay.
