Congrats to Dinger!

L. James has been appointed to District Administrator for Montana Department of Transportation in Great Falls.  This is a big deal.  Of the five MDT districts, Great Falls covers a lot of territory -- Canada to Helena (north to south) and Havre to Cut Bank (east to west).

Several years ago, Dinger attended one of my introductory management classes.  It took place at the FWP regional office at Giant Springs.  In introducing himself to the group, he said he wanted to move up in MDT, being able to advance in spite of the "good ol' boy" culture in the agency.

Looks like he got his wish -- with a lot of hard work to get there.

Congratulations!

Billings Buyskes

In regard to Johnny's previous post, I thought I would update everyone with the goings-on of the Billings Buyskes.  Everyone is doing well, first of all.  Erin is still running her preschool and doing an amazing job.  She also sings in two choirs at church, teaches two classes at Musikgarten (music classes for preschool-aged kids), teaches an online graduate-level class at MSU-B for aspiring teachers, buys and sells clothing on Poshmark and Facebook Marketplace, and is currently taking a class to move up in her Stars designation for her preschool.  Whew!  She certainly does a lot.

Henry is attending preschool three days a week for a half-day and is doing very well there.  He's meeting new friends and getting a feeling for school as he will be entering kindergarten next year.  Harrison holds down the fort at home when his big brother is gone and is doing well also.  Both boys love playing with each other (sometimes), reading books, and "fighting" with me.  It's all fun and games now, but I'm not sure I'll be able to hang when they get older.

I am still teaching at Will James Middle School and enjoying my classes.  I also recently decided to start a photography business as I've been taking pictures for a while now and I figured I could try to make a little money on the side with it.  If you're interested, my business is Buyske Photography and you can check out my website from the link.

That's about it for now.  We are just chugging along in our little family unit and enjoying watching the boys grow and mature.  Hopefully we can touch base with family this summer or as the occasion comes up.  Happy New Year!
