I'll be in Billings this week for the Montana History Conference at the Doubletree Hotel, 9/24 - 9/26. I'll be presenting "Tracking La Verendrye to Eastern Montana," on Friday, 9/25, at 2:00 p.m. as part of a session called "Exploring the Yellowstone." Even if you're not registered for the conference, you're welcome to stop by. Hope to see some of you there. Looking forward to a few days of Montana September weather. Fingers crossed it stops raining.

Karen, I've been watching the horrifying news from Spokane, and hope you are safe and sound and far from the fires.

Mike, Thanks for the advice from Queen Elizabeth. I'm glad the small steps count, because at 77 I'm finding the giant leaps pretty impossible. Hope all is well in Michigan, or wherever this summer finds you.

Kerry, Thanks so much for your birthday greeting. Look forward to seeing you at next year's reunion.

Jeanne, Sorry your guests from Arizona didn't find much relief from the high temperatures when they came north. Almost a relief to get back to Miami after my hot week in Billings. We did get some welcome rain while I was there, along with spectacular lightning and wind so strong it blew the roof off one of my sister's horse sheds. But at least it cooled things off a bit.

I thought of you, Danny, when I read in this morning's Miami Herald that the nation's highest temperature yesterday was 111 in Miles City. I hope you have found a cooler alternative to those long bike rides through the hills til this heat wave passes. I'm heading to Billings tomorrow for a week with my sisters and hoping for lower temperatures while I'm there. By now, I'm used to hot and humid Miami summers, but not to 100+ in Montana.

Seeing this photo of the 2026 BHS graduating class in this morning's Billings Gazette, I was reminded of all of us and the way we were, 59 years ago. Remembering lost classmates this Memorial Day
