Paul Gregory Renner, Jr. is quite the farm hand. With muscles as large as his full name, he is one of the most polite young men in Corbett. Everyone calls him "JR" and he tells me this is because his mom never wanted to yell out "Paul" and have TWO come running! For his entire life, JR has lived in Corbett with his family. Before he was born, his family "swapped" land with Raymond Smith for the piece they are on now. JR was in 4-H for numerous years, raising his cows for beef. Now he is raising calves for good breeding stock. Recently he has been in Central Oregon helping out his grandfather on his farm. Because of health issues, JR stepped in to lend a hand. Although he assures me the farm chores kept him quite busy, he did have a bit of time to spend with a new friend he met at a local fair. ;) Recently back for a short break, he is living in Corbett once again and will be helping "give back" by assisting Aaron Long in coaching the HS wrestling team. One of JR's favorite memories was winning 4th place in State as a Corbett wrestler when he had a torn rotator cuff! JR says he has loved growing up in this community because he feels so connected to everyone and appreciates how helpful and hardworking everyone seems to be. Seems to me he has come to fit in perfectly!
