Getting to Know us


OUR CHILDREN

As to our children, we have two sons. Scott is our first born who graduated from Western Baptist College, now Corban College, in Salem Oregon. Upon finishing his Master’s degree at the University of Portland, he served for fifteen years as a Principal for a Christian school. In July of 2008, the Willamette Community Church of Albany, Oregon called him to become their senior pastor. Scott married Angela Patten and they have three children, Adam, Madison and Ashley.

Our son Mike also graduated from Western and received his degree in Math. Mike holds a Master’s degree from Oregon State University and has been a professor of Math at Corban College in Salem, Oregon for the past fifteen years. He married Katie Parker and they have two children, Morgan and Randall. Katie works for the Albany Christian school where Scott was the Principal and they attend the church where Scott pastors.

In the picture below, Scott is on the right side of the stairs with his family and Mike is on the left with his.

OUR KOREAN CHILDREN


In addition, we have two Korean children living with us in California. About two years ago, we met Jun (pronounced June) at the San Francisco airport who had arrived in the Bay Area to attend Berean Christian High School and to live with at our home. Both she and her parents wanted her to be in a Christian school and to find a place
where she could stay. In conversation with Dr. John Song, whom we had met about ten years earlier, he told them that he knew of the perfect school and the perfect place for her to stay. A semester later her brother Jack arrived to start his freshman year at Berean. Then this past fall, David Park, a fifth grader, was accepted at the Walnut Creek Christian Academy, the school of First Baptist Church, and he moved into our household as well.

OUR SITUATION WITH CANCER

At the moment I have had my Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Cancer reoccur and if you want to follow what is happening with this, browse around where you can have the latest information on where we are with respect to coming upon our curve in the road. Also, you can find some of our thoughts on this and what we are thinking at the present time. Thanks for checking in on us and we trust that you will be enjoy and be encouraged with this site.
