I have had the honor and pleasure of knowing Katy and Louie for almost 3 years as a board member of www.neighborsforkids.org. They are both honor students graduating from Taft High School in Lincoln City, Oregon. The twins have been a part of the www.neighborsforkids.org family for 11 years since the very beginning as a Depoe Bay, Oregon after-school program. They are the granddaughters of Walt and Patty Summerton of Depoe Bay. Walt is a former US Marine Vietnam veteran and business owner. Walt and Patty are not alone as grand parents who raise their grandchildren. Katy and Louise know quite a lot about “owning your future.”
