Hannah Patrick Makes the Varsity CMR Volleyball Team

Hannah Patrick made the CMR Varity Volleyball Team.  She is the daughter of Brian and Patty Patrick. The Patricks moved to Great Falls this summer after Brian retired from the Townsend School District as the Superintendent of Schools.  He accepted a job with the Great Falls Public School System after his retirement.

Hannah played in Billings this weekend where the CMR Little Rustlers were swept by Billings West.  Hannah was in the team stats when the Lady Rustlers Blocked 4 hits...three of the blocks were delivered by Hannah.

This Editor is going online right now for a schedule.  I would love to see her play volleyball.

Keith Patrick Is Moving to Redding, California

I spoke with Keith yesterday at WalMart.  He told me that he has accepted a transfer with WalMart to Redding, California.  He said since Aunt Beth and Lee have moved to an assisted living center in Billings he really has no reason to live here...plus take that away...he doesn't like the cold.  Can't blame him.

He will be living close to Vernon and Crystal in Chico, California.

I will miss him a lot.  I go to WalMart almost daily...and always looked forward to our visiting there.  He said that he has seen and visited with more of his relatives during the last few years working at WalMart in Havre than ever before in his adult life.

I know that I never really knew him in his adult years until he moved to Havre.  I hope he enjoys California.  I will miss him.  Love ya, Keith.
