She has seen changes through the four-plus decades, and undoubtedly one of the toughest things she had to do in that span of time just came on July 31st....

I fell in love with Montana when I first arrived in Cooke City. I was 18. Nestled high in the Beartooth Mountains just north of Yellowstone Park, Cooke was miles from anywhere. The closest town, Gardiner, was more than an hour away through the park. Red Lodge, the next closest, was a long drive over the Beartooth Pass.
