Maddie and Craig first met in the airport in Bozeman Montana. After introductions and a few minutes of chatting they swapped information and agreed to keep up with one another from a distance, Craig in Montana and Maddie in Georgia. Several months later Maddie had gotten a new job, packed a U-Haul and headed for the American West, her dream. She knew a total of one person in her city of destinaiton and reached out to Craig asking if he might be interested in teaching her to shoot the hand gun her Papa had just purchased her, and the rest is history. Shooting, skiing, hunting, grilling, watching movies, sipping coffee, golfing, camping, watching college football, visiting family, and walking the dog together ever since, the soon to be Francis Family.
