Welcome, "Women of Shooters Supply"

Don, Christina and Judy

Judy Pearson and Christina Ashbaugh came from Yakima to see us in October.

Judy is Jim Pearson's wife.  Both she and Jim have been dear friends of ours for several decades.  Christina is a good friend of Judy's, and also a former long-time Shooters Supply employee.  We were delighted to see both of them for a few days, and this was a first visit here for both of them.

Christina worked in Don's office at Shooters Supply.  She had lived and worked through the daily trials and tribulations Don shared during the building of our house here.  Those were stressful days back at Shooters Supply, involving lengthy phone conversations with the contractors here in Montana, and frequent long weekends when Don and I would escape to Montana to oversee the building project.  Christina was there through it all, listening to--and sharing--Don's frustrations.

"It's nice to see the finished project," she said while visiting us, "especially after living through all the day-to-day stress with you.  It all finally seems real now."
