The bequest came from Myrna I. Berlet, a longtime resident of Jackson and lifelong conservationist. Myrna was an accomplished teacher, photographer, filmmaker, and woodcarver whose love of nature, faith, and community was evident in everything she did.

Following his death, Myrna taught at Jackson College for 32 years, receiving many awards during her tenure. “We are honored that Myrna trusted the Jackson Community Foundation as the vehicle to support an organization that was very important to her,” said Monica Moser, President & CEO. “By establishing The Berlet Fund for Nature, Myrna’s legacy as a conservationist will continue to impact Jackson County for generations to come.

She played AAU basketball with a team for a number of years and was always the tall girl in her class. But her body had another plan for her life. Today, Curtis is learning the love of sports, being around teammates, and working toward a common goal – all from the seat of a wheelchair. Two years ago, a case on mononucleosis triggered a number of reactions in her body causing the junior high student to see the world from a different perspective. “Mononucleosis attached to my central nervous system,” Allie said. “I was dislocating my hips every time I walked.” Curtis already suffered from Ehlers-Danlos syndrome - a group of inherited disorders that affect your connective tissues primarily a person’s skin, joints, and blood vessel walls.

The results were a number of secondary conditions such as a paralyzed stomach, having to drink from a port to…
