Greg Harris proves to have 'one tough noggin'
Greg Harris likes to pass himself off as perhaps the dirtiest player in Grizzly football history. Whether he was, or whether he wasn’t, Harris is most proud that he was a Grizzly, and that he has sons following in his footsteps in more ways than one. It was easy for him to come up with names for the security and other businesses he has owned and operated since shortly after his football career ended with a brief shot in the pros.
You guessed it: the main one is Grizzly Security Armored Express, Inc., a business he started in his home town of Kalispell that has since expanded into Missoula, Helena and Butte. He also has a statewide alarm company, a shredding company called Grizzly ShredEx, and a sign company called Grizzly Xtreme Graphics. |

Veteran Nurse: After 35 years Kathy Rea still loves being a nurse
As Kathy Rea walked among the hallways of North Valley Hospital recently, people greeted her warmly and sincerely, like a friend they’ve known for years. Perhaps because she has been a friend to these people for so many years. With 36 years of service, Rea is the longest-tenured employee at North Valley Hospital. And, she says, she loves her work as much — or more — than the first day she started. |

Montana’s First Lady of Letters: Remembering Dorothy Johnson
No one told more compelling stories about the West than Montana’s own Dorothy Johnson.
Four of her short stories occupy the list of the top five western short stories as voted by fellow western writers. Now a 30-minute Montana PBS documentary celebrates the life of this western woman who looked like your grandmother but was known for her in-depth tales of cowboys, Indians and frontier life. Johnson could turn a phrase and raise an eyebrow like no other. |

Kalispell physician helps pioneer field of sleep medicine
The one thing we need most in life seems so easy to get: sleep. But while sleep may be easy to come by for some people, for millions of others it’s the tonic that is completely elusive.
Sleep apnea affects more than 12 million Americans and in Kalispell, Dr. Patrick Burns is committed to uncovering the mysteries of sleep and help people get the rest they need. Burns opened the Sleep Medicine Center in 1995 in Kalispell and was the first physician to practice sleep medicine in the Flathead Valley. |

BY DAVE REESE

Muller’s accent comes from being him being raised in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), a strife-torn country in South Africa. Muller and his wife, Frankie Muller, met in South Africa in 1983 when she was on a photography safari. |

Jack and Ann Hirschy: a love story on a Montana ranch
When Ann Hirschy moved up over the pass from Salmon, Idaho, to the Big Hole Valley, she fell in love with the place and never left.
Of course, it helped that she fell in love with one Jack Hirschy, a man who would become one of the largest cattle ranchers in the Big Hole, a high-mountain valley in the southwest corner of Montana. It's a place where living is tough, summers are short but life is good if you take it all in stride. And that's exactly what Ann and Jack Hirschy have done for the last 58 years, taking the rough and tumble cattle business in stride and building up on the cattle trade that Jack's grandparents began in the Big Hole in 1894. |
