Shannon’s boyfriend, Carl, completed his park ranger training in Georgia at the end of November 2021 so he and Shannon decided to meet in Tennessee for the holidays. I flew to Billings, MT to meet with Shannon and help her drive home with her car and dog, Birdie.

Megan Lee and Fergal flew in from England so the whole family was together for the first time since Lee and Fergal's wedding in 2019.
Shannon rode back to Yellowstone with Carl and Birdie leaving her car with us. At the end of January
Nancy and I drove Shannon's car back to Yellowstone and spent the week with her and Carl.
