My how time flies. In a couple of weeks, it will be 50 years since I first arrived in Montana.

I didn’t have enough money to get all the way to Alaska and figured I’d find work along the way. Passing through Billings, four days into the trip, I picked up a newspaper and saw an ad for jobs in Yellowstone Park. Heading south from Bil...

It will be built near the school on the old Chezik property. I understand the planned school reunion has been cancelled---maybe...

Next month, around Father's Day, I will be treating Ed Dunham to either lunch, supper, or dessert at Dairy Queen. He has been doing a great job working with the marquee at the Villa Theatre and what I heard is the new marquee will begin being installed on Wednesday, June 20 in Malta. Something I learned this week is that the City of Malta Municipal Pool likely will not open at all this year because of COVID-19. One thing I got watch was help shovel pieces broken pieces of cement out of the pool’s bathhouse. I had fun. If the Malta Public W...
Brandings and seeding are the two things going on mainly in our area! Good luck with both.

It all started in the fall of 1995 – the year I retired from the U. S. Air Force. Brother-in-law Mike Hughes lived in Glasgow and prevailed upon me to come up from Helena for a hunting expedition that would cover the Breaks and northern Phillips and Valley Counties – plus a stop at several fishing holes along the way. Our non-hunting equi...
