Jill Smylie, President of Baumann Inc., was unable to attend the celebration but said, “I appreciate the love and the care for family shown by our parents and our grandparents, and their generosity, which has been a blessing to our family.” The Baumann family moved from McElroy Coulee area and settled in the Washtucna area in 1918. David’s grandfather John Henry Baumann and his brother Adolf farmed together in Washtucna for a few years, and John continued to farm the land where David and his family still farm today. -Photo submitted by Karen Baumann
