Surrounded by family and residents of Liberty Court in Dixon, Chamberlin celebrated his 101st birthday Friday with cupcakes, snacks and drink options. His wife of 33 years, Alicia, several nieces and nephews and the staff of Liberty Court helped make the celebration fun and personal with stories, songs and shared pictures.
Chamberlin served in the Navy during World War II before coming home to his Oregon farm; both Bob and the family farm share the designation of centennial status.
