He was born on July 10th, 1944 in Kansas City, Missouri. He was the eldest son of Herbert and

Vivian Miller.

Keith attended Southeast Highschool in Kansas City, Missouri and graduated with a bachelor's

degree in science education from Central Methodist College in Fayette, Missouri.

Keith's profession as well as his passion was being an educator. He started his educational career

teaching general science classes at Glasgow Highschool in Glasgow, Missouri from 1967 to 1971

and from 1971 to 1976 at William Chrisman Junior Highschool in Independence, Missouri. He

farming, retail, was a financial broker and ultimately retired from roofing at the age of 70. When

contemplate biblical concepts while walking, gardening and sitting by the river. Keith loved

Arizona and eventually came to admire and respect Native American culture.
