My grandfather and grandmother Clarance and Bertha Hichcock, along with their three children (Alfred, Johnnie & Joice lived in Crow for years and years. From about 1915 to about 1955.
He owned the Blue Front Garage and both boys worked there.
I am looking for anyone who has pictures of the garage, or who knows what ever happened to their home.
I used to visit them in the summers from Miles City and could drive to the old home now, but everything is gone south of town now. The roads and the homes. Can anyone remember where they lived?

My father, Albert Steen was a life long friend of Hitchie. After Bertha died Butch and Hitchie were weekly dinner guests in our home. He, of course knew the other children too including Irene. I was at their house often as a kid anad know where it was. My dad told me a long time ago that the old house was gone. Just yesterday I drove down there. Someone has placed another house on that property now. It doesn't resemble the old place at all.

Oh my gosh, its so good of you to respond. I remember your father clearly, he had the store there in crow. I was born in 1940 and remember the old garage and store so well. Ny mother was Hitchies sister Irene.
You know, I went to google earth and studied the picture crow for a long time but where the house was now appears to be vacant land. Its great that you know where the old place was. It sure was no mansion but it holds a lot of memories for me.
Thank you again for responding. Do you have any old pictures of your family and and my grandparents?
Again, thank you for the response.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Virgo

Keep a pinch of salt handy today because not everything you hear will be the gospel truth. Someone might have manipulated the facts to make them sound more acceptable, or they may have got carried away and forgotten to tell you something rather vital. Try to keep misunderstandings to a minimum by being as straightforward and honest as possible, and by not simply assuming that people know what you're talking about and therefore not bothering to explain properly.
