As a Local historian Homer Townsend found out about Brown and discussed the old pioneer's concept with Goldendale School Superintendent Ian Grabenhorst. It happened that Grabenhorst, when he worked for the Fossil school district in Oregon, had helped start just such a fund - two of them, in fact. "Once you and Carl Conroy - then others, decided to make it happen here. The Goldendale Educational Fund (GEF), with Joshua Brown as its mascot, was founded in 1995.

Miller, Grabenhorst, Conroy and fellow board-members Loft Anderson, Cheryl Woods, and Nancy Johnson of Columbia River Bank (the fund's investment advisor) have invited anyone with an interest in the fund to attend its annual public meeting on May 20 (see box).
