More Montana Oldies
There are not many famous Montanans. Mike Mansfield (longest serving Majority Leader in Senate history), Jeannette Rankin (first woman elected to Congress and only dissenter in the Declaration of War against Nazi Germany), Gary Cooper (from Helena) and Dana Carvey (Missoula) are about as famous as we get. But today we lost our most international of stars, Rob 'Evel' Knieval, the man of gravity defying leaps and broken bones. It is a sad night in Butte, where he is more than a legend, he is king.
Raise your glass high tonight, Mr. Knieval is feeling no pain.

Knievel videos on youtube. Watched his ABC interview. He said "Oh I thank God when I make it, you know I'm getting up there in age, I'm 34" ... gee 34, huh?
