On April 1, 2011, Patrick Johnson represented his school, Patton Middle School in McMinnville, OR, at the state level of the National Geographic Bee at Western Oregon University. He earned this honor by winning the geography bee at his school level, and scoring among the top 100 on the state-level test.

For the past two years, I have been the caretaker of my family’s farm 8 1/2 miles NW of McMinnville, Oregon along Baker Creek Road. Since the Spring of 2010, the old family farmhouse has been rented out. Now the farm is bustling in activity with dozens of free range chickens, an outdoor garden and a passing deer or two. I think in 2012, the farm will be an Oregon Century Farm being in the family since at least 1912.

I remember in the early days when we came to the reunion, we had a trio of girls. Merrilee Johnson, Barbara and Christie Kerr were babies on a blanket smiling up at us. How they have grown now.
