HONORABLE MENTION
Down Home Photographer: Rhonda R. McNett, Piqua, Kansas © University of Kansas Medical Center |
| Noel Jackson just crawled off the tractor from mowing in the Fall of 2000, when this picture was taken. For 94 years he has lived on this farm...the farm that his father and mother established in the late 1800's. Five generations of "Jackson's" have worked and walked these acres. In January of 2001, Noel was diagnosed with leukemia and was forced to move off the farm...the first time in his life. In February of 2001, Noel passed away. Noel and his wife Julia would have been married 68 years. |
