Tim DeShields Drinking Fountain on September 27, 2008
Back by the athletic fields is a drinking fountain placed by the Milwaukie Rotary Club in memory of Tim DeShields, a Milwaukie High School exchange student to Curitiba, Brazil in 1971-1972. Tim DeShields was the first student to go on a yearlong international student exchange from the Milwaukie Rotary Club. Two weeks before returning home from Brazil, he and his host father died in a car accident. The family of Tim DeShields created a Rotary scholarship in his memory. The plaque includes the word "saudades," which means "sadness" in Brazil's national language of Portuguese.
