Wilbur Adams was one of our former Board of Directors and was Chairman of the Board when they called me (Tom Hixson) to be Exec Director in 1994.  Wilbur and Frankie were very active members of Eastmont Baptist Church.  He was an apple orchard farmer from Texas.  They had two daughters, Sonja and Phyllis. 

In March of 1966, Wilbur and Frankie, with their daughters Sonja and Phyllis, followed the Lord's calling, purchased an orchard in East Wenatchee, and moved to make their home in the Wenatchee Valley. It was there that they raised their family and established a family business.

Harry Bonner was pastor of the church they chose as their church home, Wenatchee Valley Baptist Church. He took them under his wing and treated them as if they were his children.  He put them to work in the church and encouraged them to attend associational and state convention meetings.  Wilbur went on the Board of Directors of the Northwest Baptist Foundation and served about 15 years, four of those as President.

Frankie was a devout, longtime member of Eastmont Baptist Church where she served as a Children's and Youth Ministries Leader, and later in Senior Ministries.

Shortly after I came to the Northwest, Wilbur, and Frankie created a Charitable Remainder Unitrust with a Chelan Lake cabin to benefit their church and other ministries.
