In Memory

The David Dewett Veterans Memorial Wayside is a half hour drive from our farm. It is situated on a view-point overlooking the North Slough of Coos Bay. It was built entirely by volunteers and funded by private donations and took six months to complete. It was opened to the public in October last year and dedicated at a Veteran's Day ceremony on Tuesday, November 11th at 11 a.m.

From Fred Thompson's blog, Fred08 on November 26th, 2007:

More Praise for Fred’s Tax Relief Plan - Patrick Joubert Conlon at Born Again Redneck called the plan, “music to a businessman’s ears.”

C.D. Jewell,

Liberalstein,

"This blog interested me first because of the title. But the quality of Patrick Joubert Conlon's writing has kept me coming back. His style is not presumptuous or pompous or condescending; it's plain and simple. Good old American English. Which is funny because Mr. Conlon was born and lived in South Africa for his first twenty one years and after that spent eight years in England before finding his home here in the U. S. His blog provides a rare outsider/insider perspective on the U. S. of A. He's been linked to by CNN on a couple of occasions and one of his posts was cited by the official Fred08 website. He does a lot of politics but also some lighter fare as well. He frequently posts spectacular photos taken on his Oregon farm."
