It all started with Trout Creek Bible Camp. Living in the Hawthorne District of Portland, Nancy Wilson and her husband Bill decided to send their kids to the camp out in Corbett. Nancy asked Trout Creek if they would exchange her cooking at the camp for her kid's camp fees. They agreed. Nancy fell so in love with the area that she wanted to move. In 1991, Bill and their four kids made the journey out to Corbett and she and Bill are still in the same home today. Nancy loved raising her two sons and two daughters in Corbett and still volunteers. Nancy is partially responsible for the wonderful lasagna that will be served at the Red and Black dinner/auction. Bill has coached the Corbett girl's softball team for the past 16 years. Nancy loves the many animals that roam around the area, but at one time was not so sure. She saw some droppings that she thought for sure belonged to a bear. Thankfully, she learned from a neighbor that the droppings were from something much more tame and common! Speaking of neighbors, some of Nancy's fondest memories come from Claudia Becker's routine visits to her driveway in her red pickup truck. Many laughs and conversations have been had between the two over the years. It's been said, things come and go, but it is friends that last a lifetime, right? :)
