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

Mason, Texas

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.

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!

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!

I have enjoyed visiting this site. As long time Sheridan County residents and with family active in your community It is good to see what is happening with sports and school. Our daughter, Kelly Thiel is your city clerk, and our son Mike is the County Sheriff. We look forward to reading the paper each week, but the news is very old by the time we read it, and you do a good job keeping up the web site. Thanks again.

Please send me any info. you have on Plentywood and Sheridan County. I have been thinking about vacationing in Eastern Montana in the future.

Leesburg, FL

This is my wife and I thought I would send this in and see if any of you know her. I am sure she would be thrilled to hear from you. We plan to get out that way this year as I have never been there and she would like to go back and see how things are. Hope to hear from some of you. Jack and Fran Tucker(Godfrey)

Great Job On Website

I graduated from Outlook High School in 1984 and went on to graduate from Northern Montana College (MSU-Northern) in 1989. I've been married to my wife Andrea, who was born and raised in Havre, for 13+ years. Once we got married, we moved to Tempe Arizona for five years where I worked for Bank of America in the BankCard Fraud Division and Andrea worked for a property management company as an Assistant Apartment Manager. We currently have been living in Havre for the past eight years where I'm an Loan Technician for a non-profit economic development corporation (Bear Paw Development) and Andrea is a stay-at-home Mom. We have two great kids, Kerrie (5) and Drew (3). I love the website since I don't get to visit the Plentywood area very often. This a great way for me to keep up on what's going on around the area. Keep up the great work.

I've traveled extensively since I graduated in 1966. I've been a stainless steel welder of pharmaceutical tanks for 33yrs. If you've drank anything, ate anything, or took anykind of medicines, I probably built the tank it came from. I visit Plentywood regularly(about every 3 yrs. on average), mainly to visit my friend Paul Holdeman and some relatives still living there. Would love to hear from fellow classmates.

I think you should update the pictures on the website, and maybe add a few more. Being a student in college I'd like to show people where I'm from and its kind of hard with only a couple pictures of Plentywood.

I've been living in Scottsdale with my two daughters, Lydia (13) and Emily (11) for over 5 years. I was on the 7-year plan for college and finally graduated from California State University, Sacramento in 1980. I've lived in Chicago, San Francisco, Coeur d'Alene, ID, and Washington, DC. I'm trying to give up my vagabond ways and give my girls some roots. We really love living here - particularly in the winter. I'm a sales manager and sales trainer in the technology industry. We try to get back to Montana once a year and I always enjoy seeing old friends. Thanks for your efforts on this website. Great work!!

Could you possibly add the school schedules (dates for starting, ending, spring break, teacher in-services,...)? It's WONDERFUL to have this available. I had looked at it when it first started and just now remembered it, when trying to convince relatives to come down and visit.

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?

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.
