| A king on his throne! |
During a very cold fall evening in Corbett a few weeks back, a new king was named. Jack Collin Tymoshuk was named Corbett High School's homecoming king. On Dec. 2, 1992 Jack was born into a family that was already living just across the road from Big Bear's Market. Still living in the same home 18 years later, Jack recounted for me his love of growing up in the rural setting of Corbett. Having mud fights down by the creek with his brother Oliver as well as getting the backyard hill wet and then sliding down a newly muddy hill are highlights of his youth. Chickens, pigs, sheep, ducks, rabbits, cats and dogs were all a part of the Tymoshuk family as his parents raised two sons and two daughters. Jack's mom Chris had the opportunity to have her art studio just down the road at the Springdale Community Center for several years. Jack loved and appreciated his parent's involvement over the years in all his sports activities that included baseball, basketball and soccer. He has also really appreciated the many adults in the community who have been so open and friendly, sharing lots of Corbett history with him over the years. Neighbor Steve Kenney once sat down for a 15 min. interview for Jack's 3rd grade project. Jack laughed as he told me he ended up talking to him for 3 hours!! Next fall with plans to attend the Univ. of Portland and become a nurse, Jack will get to put to use his friendly personality and strong sense of caring that he has for others. In the future, we all hope Jack has plans to stay close enough to enjoy his favorite Corbett activity, the yearly Christmas tree lighting.
