Moments

The Soldier's Chapel in Big Sky, Montana, overlooking Lone Peak.

Where were you ten years ago?  I was driving into eighth grade, driving through downtown small town Montana, the sun just starting to burn off the chill of a September morning.  I listened in somber silence to the radio as I heard the news and went into the classroom to find much of the class hysterical.

Days later, I remember standing in the remnants of the Moose Fire in Glacier – surrounded by our own ash and smoke –  for a class camp, listening to President Bush’s address come quietly from the radio in a park ranger’s car.  I was the only one from the class who snuck away to listen.

Where were you?
