Montana native JESSICA BYERLY is a freelance
writer and editor in Bozeman. When she's not
writing, Byerly is bleeding every last bit of beauty
out of the day with her boys. A selection of her

CHRYSTI "THE WORDSMITH" SMITH was born some
decades ago in Poplar, where she misspent her
youth riding horses and motorcycles. Putting
those things behind her as adult, she turned
toward studies in archeology/anthropology at
MSU, where she also accidentally discovered
radio broadcasting. She has been producing
"Chrysti the Wordsmith" at MSU's radio facility,
KGLT-FM, since 1990.

MONTANA THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD?

WE'RE HOWLING
FOR YOUR MATERIAL!
In last issue's Winter phobia article, we misstated
there were eight mountain peaks in Glacier National
Park that are over 10,000 feet. In fact, there are only
six, as a reader so generously pointed out.
Da rn!
