37

[3-7-77]

The books i took out there to study still retain the smell today when opened.

The gift that keeps on giving. Each book is like an early form of a 'Scratch and Sniff' stickers. :lol:

 

[Mich Griz]

I played for the Griz well before the #37 Tradition. Sorry I missed it. I have always thought it was great and I didn't care if it went to only a Montana kid. I am from Michigan and have immense respect for my teammates from the Big Sky state. They are some of the toughest hombres I've known. If any thing we should be pissed that the Cats couldn't come up with their own tradition and had to copy us. They seem to copy everything we do except, we treat our opponents with respect and kindness then we kick their asses, hopefully. What number do the Cats hold back and did they also only allow it to go to a Montana kid? How long have they done this and does it hold the same reverence? I wonder when they'll come out in Copper Unis? That's what we should be pissed about.

I'm so old I was born in Missoula General! :lol: :lol:

Damn that’s old! I was born in ‘77 and raised in Msla and never knew there was a Missoula General.

the original missoula general was on front street where the library is.

My glorious day was well before Hoerner-Waldorf, but the wood products industry was alive and well in Missoula. TeePee burners abounded in the Five Valleys. Maybe my Missoula debut is why I've always liked the smell of wood smoke.

Come on. The pulp mill was there my entire childhood and beyond. I was born in '62. You can't be THAT much older than me.

It started in 1957 my dad came west to help start it up.

It certainly WAS polluted if it was during the days of the lumber yard teepees and the pulp mill….

I worked in the lab out there '66-'68 part time. Drove out there several years ago. The biggest pile of rust imaginable.

Do you recall who was running the lab? either thunder Dick or Larry Weeks? I worked in the lab in the late 70's early 80's...lovely place.

E.R. waiting times must have been horrendous if they had to team up with a library. "Any time, now ma'am. Have you tried our non-fiction section?" :lol:

Was the Northern Pacific Hospital until 1967, then became Missoula General. First hospital in Missoula was on NW corner of 3rd and Orange. Now apartments.

Sorry, I don't. Soft part-time job. Prepared and standardized all test solution carboys. Could work at my own schedule. Historically took the 4 hour shift. I got them done in an hour and used the other 3 for studying. A lot of stops at the airport bar on the way home.
