Moving to Corbett with his family just a few months ago was a carefully thought out decision for Jeremy Towsey-French. He and wife Keri have two daughters that came with them in their move from Portland. Everett is 6 and Hazel is 4. Having grown up in Idaho, Jeremy was wanting to give his daughters a childhood that was similar to his. Loving the slower pace and greater ability to connect with nature when raised in a rural environment, Jeremy appreciates the fact there will now be PLENTY of room for the family's summer garden. Looking forward to moving past the windy, chilly winter months, Jeremy has plans of planting between 27-30 varieties of vegetables this spring! When asked what he enjoys most about his new property here in Corbett, he told me about the small grove of trees where he recently spotted a herd of elk. The previous owner knew they existed (droppings!) but had never SEEN them. Jeremy feels pretty pleased to have had the chance to lay eyes on them! Wanting to get involved and help out right from the beginning, Jeremy has chosen to use his skills as a writer and communicator to assist the schools in communicating with the community. Currently Jeremy writes for a website entitled "Families of Corbett Schools." He also contributed numerous hours in assisting the administration to plan for the Community Meeting that took place at the MPB just this week. With his sharp mind and giving spirit, we welcome Jeremy (and his family!) with open arms!
