The Gilge family arrived in the area in 1979 when Kent became the first Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MT FWP) fish biologist assigned to this region of the state. And yes, I did...

FYI: Just a reminder that we need to remember to start dialing out the whole telephone number, even if it’s just across the street. So...
