Day Seven: Montana Senators are Nice!
I just happened to meet Montana State Senator Jim Elliott while trying to find rooms for everyone at a motel in Helena (yikes...I originally wrote “I met a Montana state senator at a motel in Helena..."). He very kindly offered to help us in our search for Henry Larrabee, and also put me in touch with another senator named Mike Cooney, whose grandfather was a Montana governor in the 1930s. This trip just keeps getting better and better.
get some sleep! and think of me wandering around in the poison oak tomorrow. Good to be home with our families, eh? Thanks for the help choosing doodads for my girls - they complimented me on my good taste, and made me some tasty spaghetti with a good merlot on the side. I’m temporarily in heaven.
Jim
