No. 50, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17050.
2. The defendant is RANDY L. CREE, an adult individual residing in Grantville,

Commonwealth.
6. Plaintiff does not know of a person not a party to the proceedings who has physical

primary physical custody and that defendant have specified periods of partial custody with the
children in accordance with a schedule and under certain conditions which may be agreed upon
at a conciliation to be held in this matter.
