#11 - Buckshot Burow
Today’s episode is about Buckshot Burow who homesteaded the Tingle place. Buckshot was a force of nature unto himself, and that’s probably why his more colorful name stuck and his given name, Raymond, was long forgotten by most. Driven by a shotgun, moonshine, and the need to prove up on his…

#10 - Hollywood Knocks
So how did celebrities and hangers on end up in Montana? Today’s episode tells that story. And, it comes from an unlikely place. My friend Carol moved to the Bitterroot from Pasadena at 40 years old after having a heart attack while working on a Columbia Studios movie as a Set Designer. Her story...

#9 - Schrek
Today’s episode is about Bill Schreckengost. Our very own Schrek. Yep, I’m pretty sure that one of those Hollywood types that moved in on Victor, MT used Bill as inspiration, and no one will, probably, be able to tell me otherwise. See, Bill was large and gentle. Okay, he wasn’t green or had…

#8 - Rodeo Queen Of Our Hearts
Today’s episode is about Vivette Sacks. Yep, that’s Pete Sacks’ wife. And let me tell you, Vivette didn’t let much dust ever settle under her feet, and she had her hands in enough pies to keep her busy from sunup to sun down. It’s hard to pick one story about Vivette. Like Earl, she was an almost...

#7 - Rodeo King of Kings
Today’s episode is about Pete Sacks. A rodeo-star, and gentle giant of my childhood, Pete flat out decided that our bad neighbors were going to be taught a lesson or know why. It all started when Papa bought me my very own horse. It was a tall lanky two-year old that was halter broke, and not…

#6 - Earl The Wolfe
Today’s episode is about the visits to Earl Wolfe with Papa that I shan’t forget. Earl owned a 100 acre sheep ranch that was fronted by The Eastside Highway, that wasn’t really a highway. Where our school bus turned around close to Pete & Vivette Sacks’ place on North Birch Creek Road. As I think...

#5 - On The Wings Of Jackie Pfau
Today's episode is about Jack Pfau a dear friend of mine and a local Bitterroot hero, or as Papa would say, “Jackie P-fau.” This morning as I was prying my eyes open and the doggies yawned and gave me blurry-eyed stares, I caught up. Remember when someone or thing zapped diplomats' in Cuba…

#4 - Just Like Papa Bay
Today's episode is about a local Bitterroot hero named Papa Bay, who, like Emil, paid attention. He simply loved being a merchant and being the very best merchant that he could possibly be. He saw his place in the community as a resource, as a service, and as his life’s work. His warm, caring…

#3 - The Bull Of It All
Today's episode is about Emil because he never panicked. Instead of recklessly charging in when there was an emergency, no matter how big, Emil calmly proceeded. And, let me tell you, I created a few emergencies. In this 2020 hellscape, I ponder how Emil might react to all of this insanity. I…

#2 - The Bitterroot, Militia Radicalization, & Kidnapping Governors
Today' podcast exposes what I know about the white militias, Freeman and others nar do wells, dotting the length of the valley where I was raised in Montana. And, how those intersect and intermingle with other US terrorists such as those that planned to kidnap, try, and possibly murder the MI &…
