Interesting article. I grew up in Santa Clara California where everyone was Catholic and either Portuguese or Italian decent. I am only a 2nd generation America. So the author's story could be anywhere USA. Life changes. I joined the US Army during the Vietnam war. I was only 1 of 15 women in a small post in Campo Darby, Italy. After getting the bug to travel I went all over the world and lived in various other states. When I was a kid I read a book about Montana. After visiting Montana with my husband for the first time, I was in love with Montana. I always wanted to move here since I was a kid. I loved the core conservative values, the friendly people, the beautiful mountains, outdoor activities here. My point is I have been all over the world and Montana has always been my favorite state. It is more about your additude and respect for it's people that makes the difference if you are a true Montanan or not. I have no plans to change it. I am happy here in Montana. Montana is my forever home. I am proud to say I am now a Montanan.
