FW: The Standard Bearers of Montana

An interesting tidbit just came my way from our veteran Group Threer, Jeff “FWP” Hagener [Jeff is the past (long term) executive director of the State of Montana’s Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department {and current Development Director for our own Montana Wildlife Federation}]:  It is his mother, Toni, that is accredited to the accretion of the Bluebunch Wheat Grass as Montana’s “State Grass”…[by contrast, here in California, if there were to be such a “state grass”, in this day and age I am sure that it would be lauded for its would-be medicinal purposes; in fact, some suggest that CA is a virtual state of grass!!].

 

Best to all from the soggy Bay Area!

p.s. KK and I travel to MT tomorrow so we can give you an on-the-scene update of conditions there; in that regard, our good friend George Kesel of Kesel’s Fly Shop emailed me earlier today that, where the Missoula Valley typically receives around 12 inches of snow by this time of the year, this year the snowfall tally is well over 50”!!
