Condon Field

I took this shot of a wheat field about a mile north of Pauling Field (aka Condon State Airport) in Condon, Oregon. Pauling Field is named for Linus Pauling, the only person to win two individual Nobel Prizes (1954 -- Chemstry; 1962 -- Peace). Dr. Pauling spent a significant part of his youth in tiny Condon (2000 population -- 759). Amazingly, Dr. Pauling was not the only Nobel Prize winner to hail from Condon -- Dr. William Murphy (1934 -- Medicine) was also raised there.
