    Hi Jodi-
            The photo is from the Historical Society. I purchased a copy of it
    several years ago. Do you want to see it? I could donate it to you if I
    leave the school. Yes, it was a tiring trip. I didn't stay to see Brokaw
    either. After our presentation Sat. (finished at 6:30) I stopped at the
    wedding reception in Belgrade and drove home, arriving at midnight. I did
    have a rough drive to Billings the day you left as well-ice storm, couldn't
    see for miles due to ice on the windshield. The mountain was beautiful and
    sunny on my return back to Big Sky. Anyway, I slept for 3 1/2 hours on
    Sunday and I never take naps...and I don't even have a secret to keep. I'm
    glad you arrived home safely and that your meeting went well. Again,
    thanks for coming over and doing such a fabulous presentation. We need to
    post that on the AM Fellows site too, since it went so well. Have a safe
    week and let me know if I should round up the photo and send you a scan of
    it so you can check it out. Marta
