- Montana Simon is from Michigan, but arrived in Bakersfield Sunday morning, determined to reunite with her father David Simon, a homeless veteran.
- She tells me her father used to be a tattoo artist, owning a shop back in Michigan. But issues surrounding mental health have led to her father’s situation.
