Sons of the Valley

I get a lot of rides from taxi of late to medical. I met this oldtimer and he told me a pretty cool story. I should start with a Sons of the Valley is something the elders speak of. It is one of the Valley who is here to do big things becasue of who he is. I was called a Son of the Valley long time ago after being here a few years, and I didn't get it. I get it now.
Elder Taxi driver leaned back and began,

"The very first wagon train with Eugene Skinner ...got here and went to winter in the west hills with the Indians. The whole valley would flood from the beaver dambs, and this one man decides that he wants to travel from the Coast Range to the Cascade range, and takes his canoe and paddles all the way across the valley. On his way back he saw a piece of land sticking out of the water about Junction City and said, "I am going to build my farm there." "
"Wow! Sir that's is a great story.
"His great great grandson is going to be the new quater back for the U of O."
I smiled back for it was amazing story of history into today.
"That would sure make a lot of Ducks!" I replied...
