DON’T BE
STUCK AT HOME
With NO RELIEF from summer heat
On April 15, McNary High
School alum Payton Williams
celebrated fi ve years since his
last chemotherapy treatment
and his family wasn’t about
to let the milestone pass un-
marked, pandemic or not.
Payton’s family arranged for
friends to celebrate with him
in the parking lot at White-
aker Middle School. They
drove Payton to the school
blindfolded and, when un-
masked, he found himself sur-
rounded by friends, family and
well-wishers.
Williams was diagnosed
with soft-tissue sarcoma be-
tween his junior and senior
years at McNary.

cal non-profi t that supports
families whose children are
fi ghting cancer asked him if
there was anything he want-
ed, Williams replied he had
everything he wanted – good
friends and a great family.
It was only much later he
decided “a giraffe would be
nice.”
Now 23, Payton hoping to
return to school at Oregon
State University after some
treatment for severe back pain
sidelined him during his ju-
nior year. Hopefully, the pan-
demic doesn’t get in the way
of that, too.
