He graduated from Ketchum High School in Ketchum, OK, then in 1950, played baseball as a pitcher with the Pittsburg Pirates in Greenville, Alabama. After spending two years in the United States Army during the Korean War, he settled in Tulsa, OK where he met and married his wife, Kathryn Jane Dodson. He spent over 35 years in traffic management at Flint Steel Corporation located in west Tulsa. Seth was a country boy having grown up in the Cleora and Ketchum area of northeast Oklahoma near Grand Lake where he hunted and fished. It was the love of fishing that led to the love of camping which his children and grandchildren remember fondly. During his retirement years, he and Kathryn took their travel trailer to numerous sites across the United States. Never losing his love for baseball, he played softball and traveled out of state to compete in the Senior Olympics. Later in life, Seth took up paint-by-number kits and painted over two dozen paintings, mostly scenic cabins by the lake which reminded him of his country roots and the beauty and serenity of nature.
