Today's guest speaker is Jim Duthie, a meteorologist with KTVB Channel 7 in Boise, Idaho.  

Jim Duthie was born in Mesa, Arizona.  After attending a year of college at Arizona State University in Tempe, he served a two-year mission in Pennsylvania.  After returning home, he married his wife, Tammy, in the Mesa Arizona Temple.  After another year at Arizona State, and after the birth of their first baby boy, they moved to Salt Lake City.  Jim attended the University of Utah, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology.  Jim worked in private weather forecasting as well as broadcasting on television and radio, which kept the Duthies in the Salt Lake area for almost 18 years. 

In 1998 they moved to Idaho to work for two local television stations, as well as private weather consulting.  In addition to working for KTVB Channel 7 in Boise, Idaho, Jim also hosts a weekly gardening feature called “You Can Grow It”.   

Brother Duthie enjoys gardening, reading, camping, kayaking, and traveling.  Together with Tammy, their travels have taken them throughout much of the U.S., parts of Canada and Mexico, as well as eight European countries.   

Jim and Tammy love Idaho and have made it their home.  They look forward to pending retirement and serving in whatever capacity the Lord may find to use them.
