Erik and Jennifer (Cutts) McLaughlin

Jennifer and I met in the oak grove, under the old oak (now gone) at a free outdoor concert during the first week of Spring term, 1993.  We dated in college and were married after graduation in the summer of 1996 amongst the vineyards of the Dundee Hills by Professor Frank Nelson, who was my advisor and philosophy professor through college.  This July, we will celebrate our 17th anniversary and our fourth child's first birthday.  Here is a picture of our three oldest children by the plaque in the oak grove, where the old oak once stood - the spot where I met their mother.  Each of our kids are avid Linfield Wildcat Football fans and plan to attend Linfield for college.
