A rare set of identical quadruplets, born this week to a Calgary woman at a Montana hospital, are in good health and two of them were strong enough to be transported back here Thursday.
Pundit of Poca, Don Surber:
This summer, Karen Jepp of Calgary was told there was no room at the inn when she was about to deliver quadruplets this summer, and so she flew 325 miles to Great Fall, Montana.
I have no problem with having the Jepp quadruplets being born eligible in some thirty-three years to run for President, and not Prime Minister. However it ought to give pause that a mother would travel over three hundred miles from a major metropolitan city to give birth in a cow town.
