“There are grander and more sublime landscapes - to me. There are more compelling cultures. But what appeals to me about central Montana is that the combination of landscape and lifestyle is the most compelling I've seen on this earth. Small mountain ranges and open prairie, and different weather, different light, all within a 360-degree view.”
“During the presidential primaries of 1940, I received a request from the Democratic National Committee to sing God Bless America before the speeches.”
