QUIZ: Are You a Montana Moron?

Guess I know a bit more about Montana than most of these young wippersnappers. I am a 4th Generation Mt person, born here and lived here 81 years. I taught Montana history and continue to read all the non fiction books I can find on Montana history.

We retired here 5 yrs ago from the west coast to escape the liberal hell that it has become. We both have loved Montana for yrs and Marlene decided it was time to escape to Libby

I am from Montana, moved to ut just before I was 14. My so called dad’s idea. But he never made it ut. Found out why I do not go back to Montana much in 2016, so so hard to leave. From Great Falls, my Great Grandfather settled Loma. ( Ed Chapel )

Now and then one of my articles finds its way to DM, one of the more lively and entertaining of our small regional press outlets. I got 9 of 10 on the quiz, just enough to make me not a moron!

Born in Billings ('49--bday next week) lived in Butte as a kid. My wife was born a month later, delivered by the same doc, Doc Chapple--at St. V's. In 1955 my mother and three neighborhood moms wearing hardhats would go atop the Finlen Hotel w/ binoculars--on the lookout for Russian bombers! I have photo proof --of the moms--not the bombers!

Born & raised in Montana! Land of the Big Sky! I was here when you could go anywhere & do anything before the big open land was shut down.. Those were the days!
