SignatureMT | 27 Noting that the land-owners he has approached asking permission to access needed areas have all been, "supportive and curious," Klehfoth credits senior classes, teachers, administrators and all the other "folks who hauled water cement bags", rocks, tires and paint over the years, as the true "keepers" of the monograms.

" She notes that their, "Klehfoto original" of the family name includes, "two very special Montana Monograms," the "H" and "M" from hillsides in Helena and Missoula. Another custom monogram, "Montana," was gied by Klehfoth to Governor Steve Bullock, and currently hangs in his office. Klehfoth's journey to Montana followed years of living, "all over the place," and began when the offer to stay in a cabin in Monarch, Montana, prompted a move to Great Falls, then the decision to leave and move back to the Midwest.

Jayme and the loveseat keep him company at their home in Helena. Marveling that, "things move in strange and amazing ways," Klehfoth says his hillside explorations have, "reconnected me with a big component of the project: To see Montana in a new, hyper-specific way, to truly sense my surroundings in areas I deemed imperative to visit... to slow down and appreciate the experience." ~ Mary Ellen Hendrickson finds stories of inspiring humans to be the best medicine for motivation in the 32 years where people have trusted her with their words. 926 Central | Great Falls 761. 1431 or 800.376.4247 Follow us on Facebook for great specials. a gift card from Penthouse: always in style MT S Traditionally, the 51 holes in Glasgow's G have been lit up by road flares for homecoming activities.
