  I hope as we start the new year that I will hear from more of our Town's people with their news, as this is like a letter each week to our people in nursing homes and living elsewhere but still have a connection to Montgomery. There are many wonderful things going on here in town and lets, let others know, give me a call, send me a note or email me. Thanks!

  Happy New Year to all and pray for PEACE around the world, wishing us all love, joy and good health. God Bless!
