knew or know?

I never met Catie's dad, but I knew he left Mom when Catie was four and that every Christmas Catie received a journal from him.

Does this sentence make sense grammatically?

This should be something like: I never met Catie's dad, but I knew he left her mom when Catie was four, and that every Christmas after that Catie received a card and a long letter from him.
