Bruce Malcom was born to Ivan and Jean (Olander) Malcom on Oct. 22, 1963, in Wakefield NE. They brought him home to a farm near Dixon NE, later moving to Homer NE then finally a farm near Allen NE. Bruce grew up hunting, exploring, and working on the farm. Many hours of his youth were spent in the pasture building forts and climbing trees. He would go looking for adventure in the woods nearby and usually ended up with great stories. He loved hunting dove, pheasants, and raccoon with family and friends. His high school years were full of sports, shop classes, and FFA. Bruce learned much during these years that he would use for the rest of his life.
