One could be forgiven for thinking that a city so drenched in decadence wouldn't have hosted one of North America's earliest saints. Yet in the midst of this hedonism and chaos, an Orthodox Christian priest named Sebastian Dabovich played a significant role in Butte, and the fruits of his labors have endured for generations.
His heart rate jumped, and gooseflesh rose on his forearms, sending a shiver down his spine. His jaw went slack, and his mind raced as he stared south, baffled by four massive black rectangular objects, each with red lights on them.
Few works of art have touched Montanans (and maybe the nation) as much as Norman Maclean's A River Runs Through It and the film adaptation that followed. Furthermore, we're particularly honored to feature the work of Norman Maclean's son John, himself an influential and talented writer.
The holiday season serves to remind us what is most important in life: each other. We like to take stock of all the things in life that we have to be grateful for this winter. Kindness and empathy are the highest of human virtues, and Montanans have plenty of both, so be generous with your compassion as we trudge ahead through this winter.
