The personal life of Wesley Johnson

Wesley gave us a detailed run down on his life in North Carolina where he lives on the family farm with an assortment of pets, and dead animals derived from his sport of hunting anything that moves, including turkeys! He is also keen on owning and restoring classic cars and owns several motorbikes. Other hobbies include building, coin collection, genealogy, investing, entrepreneurship, old things, WW II and furniture making!! Combined with his studies, travel and communicating with fiancée Elise we are not at all sure where he finds the time for it all! Previous research has included
studies of bats, ants and bio-diesel fuels and he is now studying a Master of Science in Environmental Management on the subject— Alternative Fuels in the NZ Forestry Industry at the U of A.

Also at today's meeting our International Youth Exchange student, Solene, gave an update on her attendance at the Districvt 9920 Conference in Tahiti - clearly she had a great time and was excpeptionally fortunate that this year's conference was held in such an exotic location!  Next year we can all enjoy the pleasures of the Bay of Islands (Waitangi).  The life of an IYE student is never dull as she has also attended the Challenge Camp so click here to find out more and see a slideshow
