One Monticello Life: Kasey Earl

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

kasey-earl.jpg

Usually, One Monticello Life is done in an interview type format, but this week will be a little different.

Someone suggested that we feature Kasey Earl a couple of months ago.  When I heard that he was playing at “the Coffee Bean” Friday and last night, I had to go.  It was great. But that’s not all.  Kasey is also the drummer for Gary Meggs & Ezekiel 3:18, who will be featured in the “Branson Comes to Monticello” event tonight.  It’s been a busy week for Kasey Earl, this week’s One Monticello Life.

This weeks edition may be in a different format, but I think you will be blessed by learning more about Kasey Earl.

When I asked Kasey to tell me about himself, and how he got to where the Lord has led him today, he sumed it up this way……

One Monticello Life: Keith & Terri Montgomery

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Well, Thursday is Valentine’s Day, and I couldn’t think of a better time to pick a “couple” to feature on One Monticello Life.

Keith & Terri Montgomery own and operate Monticello Exxon, and have been married for 12 years. 

When Keith was in high school, he worked at Monticello Exxon, when Mr. Davis owned the business, and it was located on 425 North.   After several years of pipeline construction, and working at Bone’s Auto Parts, he and Terri bought the business from Charlie Nichols, around 1996.

Terri is the office manager, and Keith is involved in pretty much everything else that takes place at the only full-time, full-service, service station in Monticello.
