Success for Golden Sierra Graduate at UC Merced
Sophomore Joe Webb is “digging it” at UC Merced this
volleyball season with his sixth “double-double” match for the season. This
defense-offense achievement is rare and Joe is making headlines. (See link below). Majoring in mechanical engineering, Joe plans to complete his degree, then join the Air Force to
become a helicopter pilot.
Joe is following in the footsteps of his great-grandfather,
Joe Murphy, an engineer himself, who was a respected Georgetown resident,
Rotarian and philanthropic community leader.
Joe’s grandmother, Betty Vogt, was a teacher at Georgetown School and
Joe’s grandfather, Carl, was a fire fighter with CDF for thirty-one years. Father Mike Webb, North Division Chief for
the Cal Fire Amador-El Dorado Ranger Unit, currently assigned to the
Conservation Camp, and mother Victoria Webb are both Golden Sierra graduates. Brother
Jack is a GSJSH senior this year, currently Engine Company Officer for the
Cameron Park Fire Explorers and a participant in the Divide Fire Academy as a
Garden Valley Fire Department Volunteer Firefighter.
The Webb Family has
yet another distinction: Uncle Jim Webb
was the first Golden Sierra Athlete of the Year of the first graduating class
at Golden Sierra in 1981; Mother Victoria Ekberg Webb was GSJSH Athlete of the
Year in 1986 and Joe was Athlete of the Year in 2017.
