As originally acquired, the title was vested in the names of the Bradley and Christensen sons, Paul, William, and Tom. The name is made up of the first two letters of each of our names, hence, Pawito. Many years later, Paul had died and Tom had moved away, and my Dad, Emiel J. Christensen, purchased the Bradley share. When Dad died in 1988, the property came into my name only.
I was a professor of history at Midland College in Fremont, close enough to Pawito so that I am able to spend most Saturdays, when the weather is good, working there with Columbus friends. I am continuing this practice in my retirement.
It should be stressed that Pawito is not a park, since that term implies a public area. Pawito has always been private property. Also, it is quite rugged, with fallen trees and vines growing across the paths. People seeking the geocache are responsible for being careful, as I have no liability for any accidents to trespassers. And as one of the recent visitors has commented, visitors will please respect the property.Bill Christensen
