Joe and Cathi's Past 30 Years

How to Contact Them:

20 Years Ago Joe and Cathi had been married for 8 years with 4 kids, Rachel-7, Tom-6, Zachary-3, and Gina-7 months. Joe was ranching with his dad. Cathi worked part-time as a secretary bookkeeper for Mullen Realty.

10 Years Ago Joe and Cathi had been married for 18 years with 5 kids, Rachel-17, Tom-16, Zachary-13, Gina-10 and Ellie-8; Joe was working in the postal service and ranching/farming in the Kinsey area. Cathi was working at the VA Medical Center.

Joe and Cathi live on a farm/ranch 10 mile northeast of Miles City. Joe is also a rural mail carrier for the post office and Cathi works at the VA Medical Center. They have spent any extra time following the kids' sport activities; now they are into spoiling their one grandchild, and hinting for more. The nest will be "empty" in July when their youngest leaves home.
