Patricia Tafel Kirchdorfer and family Lunch time with the Greg Coats clan. That's Greg in his signature hat on the right and Tammy, his wonderful wife, second on the right. You have probably seen Tammy and son, Buren, in their TV commercials. Funny! For a good used car and great service go to Greg Coats Cars and Trucks on Preston. A wonderful family. Tell them Father Knott sent you!  Jay Paradis, his wonderful father, Bert, and the whole Paradis tribe. |
