About the Book

The stories presented here have been taken from my memories of life in Montana. I have tried to feature a variety of events that shaped my life and the lives of my children. Because Montana is such a special place it was difficult to decide what should be included. I hope the sequence is interesting and informative. My family is truly unique and wonderful.
