Jack and Jere


We're "home on the range" surrounded by beautiful mountains, a lake, and grain fields.

Jeredene is a former music educator and a performance musician.  She is an Associate, Grant Writer and Technology trainer for Northern Rockies Educational Services, Inc.  Come to any "Winds of Montana" concert and you'll find her in the band.  She is also an award winning cook.  Checkout her recipe page.  She's Falling Water Woman to a lot of people and that crazy director of the area's multi-community, interdenominational choral group - A.N.G.E.L.S.  (A North-central Gathering of Ecumenical Liturgical Singers).  Interested in web site design or administration?   Call her MTunz (pronounced Montana-tunes) and find her at MRTC.

Jack is an award winning copy writer and operates Positive Images, a consulting and Public Relations firm for north central Montana.  Ask about half the buckskinners in the country and he's Lame Bear, that feller that runs Medicine River Trading Company.  If you were at the Charlie Russell Art Auction a couple of years back, you heard him talk about "Lewis and Clark Never Discovered Anything!"  He also is a world authority on the life and times of Toussaint Charbonneau.

Now add to this mix a beautiful, dark haired, blue eyed little girl named Natasha (Water Bear), that came suddenly into our lives, and you have some idea of who we are. (She's not so little any more - she is old enough to VOTE!!!!)

Our family is additionally extended by Jack's two grown sons.  Matthew (and his life love, Katie and now our grandbaby, Lily) and Mark (and Mark's beautiful wife, Melissa).

Oh yes, don't forget the animals - two dogs and four cats!    Jack also is managed by two store cats. You can see pictures on our picture page (link below).


We're a Christian family that has been blessed with living at the foot of the greatest mountains in the world - East Front of the Rocky Mountains.  Our back porch faces the Bob Marshall Wilderness area and in between is Lake Frances.  A fair fishing lake if you like walleye, Northern pike or lake trout!  We are 45 minutes from Glacier National Park, the "Crown Jewel" of the National Park system.


Here are a few pictures to give you some idea of what makes up this special family and what we do...and where we live.
