I would like to share one comment as I begin; Bill Lavell and Madlon Brence mentioned one individual, Lee Bair, recently in their articles and it brought back my memories of this man. As I remember, he had lost a leg and became a salesman. As Madlon reports, Lee sold for Minnesota Woolen. Around 1950 or 1951, he came to our apartment where he measured and sold me a pair of dress trousers from Minnesota Woolen, which were delivered later with a perfect fit. I will now reflect on some past neighbors, Frank and Clara Nies, who...
My husband does the grocery shopping, but for decades I’ve provided him with a typed or computer generated grocery list. I may allow him to add to the list, but I always hope the store can provide all the other essentials I list. We went to Miles City and Baker last week, with lists for each town. I had an appointment with my neurologist to have Botox shots in my right hand, arm, and neck. The eye doctor was also in the building, and she had warned me macular degeneration was a problem with MS patients, so I needed to see h...

The workflow relied heavily on the ability of the museum to fund the project throughout the years and was completed with the assistance of grants including one from the Montana Community...
I don’t remember when I first met Ernest Tooke. I don’t believe that he went to grade school in Ekalaka, but I might be wrong. So when I arrived at CCHS, as a freshman, he was a junior in the same grade as my sister, Bertha. I’m sure that I knew him before that. Of course, everyone knew the Tookes, Feek and Faye and all the others along with their families. Ernie, as we called him then, was definitely one of the boys and a very popular one at that. All of the guys liked him immensely and he was very much a ladies man as we...
With my article about the Ekalaka Independent Basketball Tournaments giving information about scores, players, referees, businesses, etc., I never presented who placed in the top four during those nine years. I will include it at the bottom of this article and, as you will see, there were some close games and high scores. In the list of individual high scoring games published previously, I overlooked Dan Marinkovich who scored thirty five in a game in 1956 and was an all tourney player that year. Marinkovich was a teacher...

by Sherry Farwell, Ned Summers & Marguerite Goeders Rozelle ENTERTAINMENT Prior to any central human-made facilities in Sykes-Belltower, socialization within the community was restricted primarily to those events that could be held at individual homes or outdoor locations during the summer. An invitation to someone's home was highly regarded as an important opportunity to dress up for both the sharing of meals and conversations, known collectively as "visiting" your...

That’s right, it happened again; snow, wind and hazardous driving conditions postponed the medical appointment to deal with my trygeminal nerve pain in the lower right jaw. That happened in January, February, but we mistakenly thought April would be safe. We should have remembered the year Katie tried to come home from Billings on spring break; we followed her all the way from Miles City to be sure she made it safely. Driving conditions were questionable in Ekalaka, on April 5, but got worse the farther west you went. We w...

I am going to throw several different memories of individuals, tourney games, and records during those tourney years into my article this week. My last article had information about Carsten Loken. Many of you may not remember, but he was known more as "Dutch" Loken. I also want to state that girls high school basketball had not started when I was a referee. When I was in grade school, we played the high school girls-the game was different then. There were six players, three...

Around forty people attended the Carter County Geological Society Founder's Day event held on March 15 at the Events Center. After a dinner, Ken and Theresa Howie provided updates on the progress of their documentary, Feek's Vision. The trailer for the film was also shown. Feek's Vision is the story of Feek Tooke and the Tooke bucking horses; horses with champion-producing bloodlines that have impacted the history of rodeo and still play a strong role today. As excitement buil...
