Will and I have wonderful memories of the years we spent teaching at Jack Norton and sharing so much joy and fun as we worked together with Paul and
Ruby as they pastored the church at Wauteck. They are missed, but our lives were enriched by knowing them and Marcile Graves, their co-worker. We shared many an experience with them as they served the community down river. We loved them. Will and Pat Johnson
