Remember Paul Milliron, Supt. of Montana Schools, charged with closing the one-room school house that he had attended in the early 1900s? Remember Rose, and her brother Morris, and the comet?I lose track of time, but not too long ago we read The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig. I was listening to NPR (91.5) and heard that he is the guest on New Horizons this Friday, April 17th at 5:30 and it's replayed on Sunday at 11:00. You can also go to this link

and download the show to your computer or ipod after it airs. I don't catch the show very often, but the host is Bob Kustra, the president of BSU and he's a good interviewer. It should be interesting. I've wanted to read some of Ivan's other books. There were so many things about The Whistling Season that I liked. I think all of them are set in western landscapes. He's sometimes compared to Wallace Stegner.
