Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
Keri Foster says she "can't say enough" about the welcoming that she and her husband have received since moving from Montana to Kimball.
Here's another installment of the Observer's series on community newcomers. This time it's Keri Foster.
According to new resident Keri Foster, Kimball is the "most warm, welcoming place."
From day one, she made friends in the community and found a church family.
"I can't say enough," she said about the community.
Keri and her husband, Jeff Brumbaugh, have "very much enjoyed settling into" the area, she said.
They moved to Kimball in September, and Keri took a job as a nurse practitioner at the Kimball hospital and clinic. Jeff is a retired police officer and raises greyhounds used to hunt coyotes.
They have purchased a house, and Keri is interested in doing "service somehow." She said that she likes the ability to be part of the community.
While the hunting dogs are Jeff's hobby, Keri enjoys quilting, painting and making jewelry, and she is somewhat of a rockhound.
Although initially from eastern Nebraska, Keri spent the last couple of years working in northeast Montana, almost to the Canadian border. Keri doesn't miss the services or stores that larger cities have because she said Cheyenne and Scottsbluff have twice as many services as Montana.
She said the motivation to move to Kimball was to be "closer to kids and grandkids," who live in Valentine. Keri is already reaping the rewards of living in Kimball as she was able to go visit family last weekend and watched her grandson go deer hunting.
Welcome to Kimball, Keri and Jeff.
