Weir of the week: Monty Neil Kurtz
The following are highlights from an interview with Monty Kurtz Weir of the week...
Monty claims to be uninteresting (but I know better). He said he works hard for his kids so that they can lead interesting lives. Monty's family is his identity and what he loves best about himself.
Monty grew up in Cottonwood, Arizona and lived a childhood of freedom and fun there. Cottonwood has beautiful weather year round which Monty enjoyed to the fullest. He spent the majority of his time outdoors hiking, fishing, hunting, and finding great swimming holes. Fun was easy to find and frequently had.
Fun in the present however is a little more work. He loves to hike with his kids but with a 17 pound baby on his back and three other kids to care for, its not as carefree. Monty says “its hard work to have fun but all the more rewarding.”
Monty served his mission in the Osorno, Chile mission where he enjoyed the people and scenery. He was also introduced to new and interesting food like cow tounge (which he likes) and blood sausage (which he hates). He would like to return to southern Chile for a visit someday with his lovely wife.
Some other things that Monty enjoys is playing tennis, riding his bike (which he does most days to and from work), and playing catch with Peter, Sarah, and Joseph. Some of Monty's favorite things include the color green, the season of summer, the music of Allison Krauss and Jonny Cash, the book by Victor Hugo Les Miserables, and the movie October Sky. He loves the symbolism in Hugo's work and the motivational message of October Sky.
Monty is a wonderful father and husband. He became part of our family ten years ago this July! We are blessed to know him.

You are doing a great job Monty. Your family is absolutely beautiful and full of fascinating people. You must be working super hard. We are very glad to have you as a part of our family and to be a part of yours.
I'm so glad Monty is in our family. I'm also so glad that Monty is so generous with sending his family out our way because summer wouldn't be fun without time with the Kurtz family. Love, Sarah
