Nice surprise
An old friend surprised me when she came for an unannounced visit back to Pierce, Kim Bagley (Shewbert) moved to LaCrosse Wisconsin in 2000 with her family. This was her first visit back since then, she especially enjoyed seeing Deer Creek for the first time and visiting other favorite places like the North Fork and the Reservoir.
Both Randi Dawn and Jason are married and doing well. Jason has a stepson and daughter and Randi Dawn has three preschool children.
