BUSINESSES ON THE MOVE …
Make note that ER Energy Propane has moved its offices into a new location, but in the same complex on Highway 70 in East Quincy. Great Northern Hair Co. had formerly occupied that spot but has also moved (see next item below). ER’s manager Dutch Morrison and his crew are very happy with the move that gives them considerably more office and shop space.

Away from the office, Leah enjoys camping, hunting, fishing and spending time with her son, Chase Rainey, a sophomore at Quincy High School.
