... to have known quite a few students with wonderfully warm and generous hearts. Two of them have been profiled in today's
Statesman Journal: Philip Gray and Leah Loe. Philip is currently serving in Afghanistan:
Gray had plenty of reasons to stay home.
He had just started his first business with his girlfriend of three years, and was set to graduate from Western Oregon University in the spring of 2010.
His mother was recovering from breast cancer, and he'd been doing his best to care for her through that ordeal.
In his spare time, he worked to restore his 1963 Chevy Nova Super Sport.
At age 27, his life was coming into focus. Still, doing his part in Afghanistan proved a compelling idea for Gray.
"I've been in the military since May 2001," he recalls. "And I've never deployed. I didn't want to finish my service without getting overseas."
Philip and Leah own a photography business, if you are looking for an event photographer
