The Good Samaritan Center Mountain View Manor was abuzz last Thursday.
Residents, visitors and staff lounged in the commons area, sharing cookies and conversation.
The main topic of conversation could be seen wandering the room, proffering eager handshakes and smiles.
That’s the manor’s new administrator, Remick Clark. Call him Micky. And he’s what the open house was all about.
Clark’s wife, Heidi, was also in attendance at the open house. The two hail most recently from Glenwood, Minn., where Clark just finished his internship for the Good Samaritan Center. This will be his inaugural position with the organization.
The Tobacco Valley offers a familiar landscape for Clark. “I’m originally from Colorado, so it’s kind of like moving home,” Clark said. “It’s just beautiful here. I’m intrigued, being close to Glacier Park, and opportunities for fishing and hunting.”
Before embarking on his internship with the Good Samaritan Center, Clark was employed for seven years with an information services company in Minnesota, working with hospital software.
Clark has also worked as an assistant controller at a hospital in Colorado.
Heidi, meanwhile, teaches kindergarten in Minnesota. She’ll finish out the school year there before she joins Clark in the Tobacco Valley with their three children: Rebecca, 9; Rylan, 5; and Renae, 2.
The family is happy to have the opportunity to raise their children in a small town, added Heidi.
As for the center, said Clark, “My goals here are to make this the best place possible for the people who live here, and to continue to be a part of the community.”
