This and That
The National Park Service (NPS) has big plans for the 2010 Centennial of Glacier National Park, Montana. As part of this effort, NPS published a commemorative book of stories about the park written by people who worked, grew up, and visited over the years.The book was released December 1, 2009. It can be purchased on line from the Glacier Association.
My story about saving furniture in the lake level rooms of Many Glacier Hotel during the 1964 Montana flood will be included in the book.100 Years, 100 Stories: The View Inside Glacier National Park will be used to show the human experience in the park the park and raise funds for centennial celebrations.
In 1964, the flood was viewed as the worst in Montana's history--it still may be the worst. In a pre-CNN, pre-cell-phone world, most of us were isolated and were dealing with the problems around us and had no idea how widespread the destruction was until we read about it in the newspaper many weeks after the fact.
Even though the road, our water and our power were knocked out and the flooded place quickly turned into a sea of mud when the water receded, we opened on time with a large convention. That was one of my more interesting experiences.
