Looking for stories

Like many Montanans, it's difficult for me to drive our highways without noticing the white crosses. I can't help but wonder what happened and feel sorrow for the family and loved ones left behind. Some crosses are so faithfully decorated and others remain untouched.

I have a project I would like to get off the ground and I need your community's help. I would like to publish a book about the highway crosses on Montana's highways. I would like to include individual stories and photos as a tribute to those who have lost their lives.

Families in Helena and Conrad have already graciously shared the stories of their sons' lives, and deaths, and I am hoping that through this letter, other families will participate in this memorial.

Please pass this letter on to someone you know in your community who might be interested. You may contact me by e-mail at gozLepard@netscape.net or by post at 3328 Grand View Road, East Helena MT 59635.
