[Nfbmt] DET hearing

[Dar]

Hi Dan, 
I will be traveling home tomorrow evening. 
Montana is having rain, today. They say snow tomorrow. 
I know I will get home safe though. 
Yesterday my love turned 65 unreal. 
Just wanted to share with everyone.

Indeed, department of human health and human services administrator Jim Marks did run a  very good and upbeat session. I hope all the staff present will be able to go over all of the comments and implement them into the state plan, and that state plan will reflect seriously, at least to a good measure, our particular concerns.

>> Next, for me is today's radio KGLT "Americana Backroads" show, which is my first of two fund pledge drive shows. So lots of extra preparation, and I hope it will be with many listeners and many who will call us up with pledges for our radio station. Not to shamelessly plug, but the toll free number is 800-754-5458, as well as the normal studio line of 406-994-4492. Or pledges now an option online at www.kglt.net.  And I'll grab hold of the microphone with both hands at 12:00 noon today and hang on to the saddle horn until 3 bells.
