Title

Jill Derby for Congress

Description

Jill Derby began her life in the small town of Lovelock, and her Nevada roots run deep. Her great-grandfather purchased land in Pershing County at the turn of the century and her grandfather worked in the mines in Virginia City. Some of the family’s land is now Derby Dam and Derby Field in Lovelock.

During the Depression, Derby’s parents created the Flying Flapjack ranch in Lovelock from bare land and a simple bunk house where they raised crops and cattle. An accomplished pilot, Derby’s father later volunteered to train fighter pilots for the European and Pacific theatres in World War II.

As a teenager, Derby dreamed of far away lands, encouraged by her parents and the family collection of National Geographic magazines. After graduating from college, she traveled throughout North Africa, India, Asia, and the Middle East. She lived in Saudi Arabia, trekked the Himalayas, and visited the ancient ruins of Angkor Wat, deep in the jungles of Cambodia.
