Keep Plentywood fresh and professional, I still think of Plentywood as my HOMETOWN

Nice looking web sight. You might want to make it easier to find the media that serve your area like your local newspaper and your local radio stations. Was looking for 'em on your web sight, and although they may be listed somewhere, I couldn't find 'em. If you get a chance, let me know if the Plentywood Hearld or KATQ is on the web. If, they're not, they should be. If they are . . please email me their web addresses.

 

My association with Plentywood and Sheridan County goes back to 1968 and 1969 when I was the manager of what was then called KPWD-FM Radio. My wife and I now own KDIX Radio in Dickinson, North Dakota. We still keep in contact with some current Plentywood residents including Pee Wee and Gladys Robertson, Bill and Eunice Peterson, and Valerie and Corey Benson. Lee and Darlene Leiss

My parents were Rupert and Alice Marsh. I have four sisters. I married Perry Brandenberger in Plentywood December 20, 1958. We moved to Texas two years later. We lived at his parents ranch for a year when we moved to San Antonio. We have one son, Bill who was born on December 7, 1971. I worked for Southwestern Bell until 1989 when I retired. Perry had already retired from Kelly Air Force base and was living in Mason. Bill and I moved there in 1989. Perry developed stomach cancer in 1990 and died in 1992. Bill married and had two kids, 1 from a previous relationship. I am now staying at his house and taking care of him and the two littelist kids. Their mother decided she wanted to get a divorce. The kids are 5 and 6 so they are in school every day. I am very involved in my church and family. I hope to be able to come up this summer if possible.

Omaha, Nebraska

Jenna (Richardson) Pryor here! I attended Plentywood High School in the early nineties, but moved away in my junior year and finished back East. (However, in my early twenties I was lucky enough to spend a single year living and working in Plentywood once again.) In 2002, many questions I'd had concerning the Old Testament and its relevance to modern Christianity were finally answered, and so I now embrace the lifestyle of Messianic Judaism (still believing in Messiah for salvation, but recognizing Torah as noneother than foundational to Christianity). At the end of 2002 I married a military gentleman stationed near Omaha, one Steven Pryor of Texas. If anyone would like to write, please do! My times in Plentywood were of the most precious of my life, and I would be thrilled to hear from anyone who wishes to speak of that place.

Havre, MT 

Married Tom Geelan, class of '55, June 1957. The list of where we have been since is long - have been in Havre since 1977, though. Tom and I are both retired and seem to be busier than when we worked. Retirement is "sweet"!! We take road trips all over and have a grand time. We have 2 sons - Bill in Spokane and Dan here in Havre, graduating from MSU-Northern in December with a major in Biology and minor in Chemistry. His goal is to become a physician's assistant with the help of the Montana National Guard. Bill manages a motel in Spokane and just loves it out there. Would love to hear from anyone - we have missed the last two reunions because both times I was busy having back surgery. If there is one this next summer, I will forego having any surgery and do the reunion.

ktm550@cox.net 

Las Vegas, NV

It took me 19 years to find a decent job, a fairly good place to stay and encouragement to settle down. In 1998, my wife (Gail Clapp from Glendive, MT. Marriage attempt #2.) and I decided to pack it up and move to Las Vegas, NV. Starting out in Vegas, I managed an over-whelmingly successful Internet service that was bought out by a local telephone company in early 1999. The local telco that bought out the ISP I was working with hired me, but it didn't take the new owners long to tell me that there was not enough room for me and their company. And that was fine. I had a job offer with Sprint PCS and I'll had to do was so 'OK' to start the PCS job. On August 2, 1999, I said 'OK' and started working with Sprint PCS as an RF (field) Technician. Basically the job entailed driving around and maintaining a bunch of "tower sites" in a new 4x4 pick-up with $150,000 dollars worth of test equipment in it that I had no clue how to use! It was by far the funnest job I've ever held!

 

Yes, I did manage to learn how to use all that stuff, but by the time I had the hang of the field work, I got an offer to move into the switching office and learn how to use $1,000,000.00 dollars worth of equipment that I had absolutely no clue in hell about using it. In fact, I had no idea why all that equipment and other crap existed in the switching office!

 

That was then. And it's a different ball game now. I still work the switch but it's now 4 times the size it was and it's no infinitely more complex. And I understand how it works too, which is a bonus! The work is rather tense a lot of time. But, it's punctuated quite often by the ridiculously goofy actions/mistakes of the very funny and entertaining group of people I work with.

 

So, if you're ever in Las Vegas and someone's using Sprint PCS as their wireless telephone provider, think of me. I'm one of two people that makes sure the calls will connect!

My wife Gail works as an Embryologist with a traveling IVF consulting team. Quite honestly, she tells me about what she does everyday, yet I still don't have a clue what it is that she really does. Go to the website called www.ivflabs.com and then you'll know about as much as I do about what she does.

 

Daci (22), my oldest daughter graduated from Concordia College this year (May 2003) and lives in Las Vegas too and just started as a mortgage loan officer.

 

Darcell (19), my youngest daughter lives in Billings, MT and works at the Dos Machos Mexican restaurant. When in Billings, please dine there and tip heavily. Thank you.

 

My sister, Jonna Lynn Underwood, lives with her husband Craig in Grass Valley, CA. She works in the insurance business. Husband Craig works as a newspaper circulation manager with the area's newspaper. They've just had a baby and it's name is Bodie, a brand spanking new Yellow Lab. This addition to their home gives a whole new meaning to the word "parenting". (If Jonna reads this, she's gonna' rip me a new one, I just know it.)

 

My folks Gordon and Marilyn Overby remain living on their little homestead south of Plentywood. Dad retired from farming and sold out it 2000. They spend the winter's from November to March in Mesa, AZ.

 

Feel free to e-mail and say "Hello". Do not be shy about asking what I did and where I went from the time I left High School to landing in Las Vegas. There's just too much to tell for the scope of this forum.

 

Lastly, allow me to answer a question before it gets asked. Yes, I still play with dirt bikes. With all the desert surrounding me, how can one NOT play with dirt bikes? If you want to know more about riding the desert, you know the drill (e-mail me). With that, I'll drop the topic and finish by saying this. Desert riding is 10 times more dangerous than puttering around on a pasture in the Plentywood area. However, once a person gets the hang of desert riding, it's 100 times more fun than puttering around a pasture!

 

My Best Wishes to All,

Kirk Overby

This is just to update my e-mail address which changed effective September 4, 2003. I understand there is a new Plentywood Alumni Website being established and that Rick Darvis has sent out information to alumni. I would like to receive that information and if he tried to send it to me, it was probably rejected due to the change of my e-mail address. An Alumni website should be a wonderful addition to the overall Website which is absolutely excellent for a small community. Keep up the good work Mickey McCall and all involved in it.

September 6, 2003

 

Note: We'll see to it that the Plentywood Alumni and Education Foundation gets you new email address and resends you the information. The web site should be up and running in about a month. The address will be www.plentywoodalumni.com. For the present, you may contact them at kordy@airtimeisp.net, or call 406-765-1803.

After graduating from PHS I moved around a bit while going to college. After getting my masters in Library Science I moved to Kansas City, MO where I lived for 13 years. After that I spent a year in Pasadena, CA before ending up in Boise. I have been here 8 years. I work as a librarian at Micron Technology. In July 2001 I married Daniel Weilage. We have a couple of four-legged children (dogs) but my sister Catherine and her 2 boys live in Boise too so we spend time with them when we need a human child fix. One of these years I will make it back to Plentywood to see how things have changed!

My name is Robert James (Bob) White. Your Website is one of the best I have seen! I'm from Plentywood, went to grade school, junior high and high school through my sophomore year when we moved to Billings, MT.

 

I have never forgotten Plentywood and all my boyhood friends. My sister Connie was able to attend the 30 year reunion for all grades. I was unable to attend as I was traveling overseas.

I now reside with my family in Oak Hill, Virginia. I hope to make a trip out toward Plentywood before I die. My wife and I are both going on 57, but we still have to work to earn a living.

 

Is Jimmy Kisler, Craig Marsh, Willy Nelson still living in the area?

If so tell them a Big Hi!

Currently, I'm a stay at home mom (but was a college instructor for about 8 years). We live in Englewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver. The weather is like P'wood but milder (more snow that melts in a day or so) and less mosquitoes!! (Thus, the perfect weather!) I will be in town around July 3rd and 4th. How about some more e-mail addresses from the class of '80?!

 

P.S. Thank you for plentywood.com!

Nice job!

Redstone, MT

Tom & I were married in Dec. of 1964. Since 1967 we have lived and worked on my home place, Cloverdale Ranch in Redstone. We have three sons, Sam, Zachary, and Carl. We feel very lucky to live in a rural, caring community and to be able to live the lifestyle that many city folks would envy, even though the work is hard and the financial rewards are always uncertain. Those of you who remember me from high school would probably be surprised to see me do the things I do now--everything from A.I.ing cows to running the combine. We don't have hired help, and our boys are off making their own way in the world, so I probably am outside more than in. I would not want to start listing old friends, as I would probably forget someone. Most of the classmates I know of have not changed a whole lot--some are their same lovable outgoing selves, and a couple are still jerks!

I live in beautiful south Mpls - I work as a powerful administrative assistant and can run copies like you wouldn't believe. I am paving my way through the bustling city life to stake my name in corporate America. I plan on doing this by spending as much money as I can at local Caribou coffee shops, downtown clubs, and various happy hours. Seriously though - 2 years "fresh" out of college and procrastinating my way back into grad school for Chemical Engineering. I live with Kelsey and Lindsay Nordhagen (you may have heard of one or both). We have a cat named Max.

Feel free to email me anytime and in between coffee shop stops I'll shoot back - Hey to all my buddies!

When I first filled out your contact page, I thought it was a great idea for a small community (home) to have a web site/contact listing of friends. Since I have been listed, my wife and I have been barraged by numerous emails from Africa wanting money stored in our accounts. This is a scam, for certain, and I think this group of hackers has pillaged your data base and is sending and distributing email worldwide. There is information in the address blocks of these messages that I know has originated from your site. (e.g. My wife's maiden name) I know it is my fault for listing on Sheridan's site, but in most ways I regret doing this. Is there anyway to protect Sheridan's site?

January 3, 2003

 

Webmaster's Note:

Thanks for writing and expressing your concerns about the security at plentywood,com. I'm sure you'll agree that it is nice to have a convenient listing of friends' email addresses.

 

Security was one of our initial concerns when we started posting people's names and email addresses. That is why we put the note on the signup page that advises you to only put the information you feel comfortable about in the form. As far as the information availability goes, the only information available to anyone is what you see on the site. There is no database that anyone can "hack" into.

 

The server company we use to host the web site is a reputable, state-of-the-art operation. They incorporate all the latest anti-virus, anti-spam, and anti-hacker technology available and update it regularly. Our site has no information that a hacker could obtain. There is no hidden information to find.

 

The African emails you refer to are very prolific. I don't think I know of anyone who is immune to them. They have been around for about 5 years. I personally have 4 email address and receive these messages on all of them, and have for several years. These groups generally do not hack into sites to obtain information. All the information they need about you is readily available from numerous companies that gather and sell all types of lists of information. I'm sorry you think that the Africans got your wife's maiden name from our web site, but I can assure you that anyone can find out that information very easily. In fact, for $20, I could get a copy of your tax return if I wanted to. Besides, the only way anyone could get that information from plentywood.com would be to go to the web site and manually copy it all down. I don't think it would be cost effective for people who send out billions of these emails to spend an hour copying 2 or 3 hundred names and email addresses from plentywood.com.

 

But these are just my thoughts. I will be more than happy to remove you and your wife's name and contact information if you wish. Just let me know.

I am a designer for a large builder here in the Cities and own part of Farmer's Mortgage Company. Carrie is a Div. 1 manager for WalMart Vision Center in Fridley, MN. I still play drums, currently with two bands: Not In The Mood and HUGE. We play around the Twin Cities at clubs. Nicole is an award winning piano player and recently played in the Minnesota Music Teacher's Honor Concert at the Northrop Auditorium at the Uninversity of Minnesota. Connor is a ranked fighter in the Midwest Karate Association and currently a red belt. Brenden recently began his wrestling career with the USA Wrestling system. He is currently 5 wins, 2 losses with a first place at the Apple Valley tournament. Only 6 years old and 80 lbs! We stay very busy with the kids, jobs and band stuff. We make it home a couple time a year, but that is getting tougher as our positions within our respective companies become more demanding. Hi to all the folks from the class of 86 (both P'wood and Med. Lake) who may read this. If you are ever in the Minneapolis area, give us a call! We love to visit with our old friends.

I'm retired from corporate banking and now serve as a Lay Eucharistic Minister with the Episcopal church. My husband of 15 years, Jack, and I are very active in other ministries within the church and in our spare time enjoy our 10 grandchildren, 3 of whom are triplet boys! We vacationed for a few days in August, 2001, in Plentywood, visiting Cliff Peterson and the Bill Petersons, the only family I have left there after the deaths of my parents, Don and Carolyne Peterson and my grandparents, Len and Jane Peterson, all of whom owned and ran the Peterson Company Hardware and Furniture in Plentywood for many years. My brother, Larry, a 1972 graduate of PHS is a doctor in neighboring Lake Oswego, and has written two award-winning books, promoting the Great State of Montana. I pray for the economy to improve in Plentywood so that it may continue to be the "Best Little Town in America", and always "Home" in my heart. It was a great place in which to grow up and I'm forever thankful for the fine school and the education it provided me. Thanks for the memories, Plentywood!

Your web site was helpful re. hunting info. Used the link to get the form for bringing guns across the border. My three friends and I have been coming to Plentywood to hunt for the past eighteen years but, the costs, the "red tape" and the change in opening dates for non-residents are taking all the fun out of the experience. Is the government telling use to keep our money on the north side of the border?

hi, When our dollar was worth a dollar(or closer) we frequented Plentywood often and enjoyed every minute we were there. We frequented the shops, stayed in numerous hotels, and of course visited the watering holes, the objective of our visit was to dine at a wonderful

establishment and enjoy an evening of dancing at Blue Moon/ Golden Wheel and wherever else we could find. Since those days, we have moved North and our visits seemed to diminish, we are in the stages of coming down to revisit this grand town and let our hair down to partake in an evening of merriment. Any suggestions on hotel deals, or are there any weekends you guys feel a bit sorry for the Canadians? We are coming, but need to check things out? Hotels, Meals, is your main street shopping still interesting and shopable? Thanks and we are looking forward to see'in ya all real soon!!!

I lost contact but do know that he moved from Culbertson to your town and probably still works as a teacher. Maybe somebody could help me to find his e mail adress or telephone number.

I am Heather James from California. I meet your Lucas Story 8 years ago at a summer beach camp in Santa cruz, Ca. A church group from Plentywood made the long trip to California to this camp that fateful summer. Lucas and I have been friends ever since. Although we have only seen each that one week 8 years ago, we have remained in contact through, letters, e-mail and phone conversations all this time. I can honestly say he is one of my very Best friends in the world. Lucas is in Billings now, and we plan to meet again soon. I hope I can visit your wonderful city someday, all I hear is great things about it.I just wanted to share our story with you, he was showing me this site so i could see where he came from. It truly is a beautiful town!

I was born in Spearfish, SD to Mickey and Lori (Kleppen) McCall. I moved to Tupelo Ms when I was six in 1989. I attended the first through the tenth grade there. My little sister Kristin was born there in 1993. In 1999, we moved to Spruce Pine, NC. After I completed my junior year of high school we moved back 'home' to Plentywood, where I graduated in May of 2001. I now attend Minot State University obtaining my BSE in Elementary Education with a concentration in psychology. My roommate is a dream and it helps to have my aunt Vivian and her family and my aunt Nancy and her family here to help me through crisis. I miss my family, but I've always thought of Plentywood as a nice place to visit and regain my senses, instead of losing them there.

Very good site. Whoever put this together did a good job. The only thing I could think of to add is to get permission from the listed businesses to add their telephone numbers. Most of the businesses do not have their own link or e-mail. The only way for a prospective visitor to contact businesses is the telephone. Some may be more likely to call if they don't need to dial information or look it up.
