DO YOU HAVE A STORY ABOUT
MONTANA THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD?
Email queries to editor@distinctlymontana.com.
WE'RE HOWLING
FOR YOUR MATERIAL!
F
ALL IS WHEN HUMANKIND IS BUSY HARVESTING CROPS
AND PREPARING FOR THE COMING WINTER. It's a time for
contemplation of the past, and hope for the future. It's a spooky time
for the ghouls and goblins, large and small, who celebrate Hallow-
een. For many, it's a time to be thankful for family, friends, and safe-
ty. And for Montanans, famously kind, pragmatic, salt-of-the-earth
folk blessed by God with good looks and quick wits, it's a time to be
gladdened anew at being able to live in a state this grand.
In August, we welcomed JOE SHELTON, our
new Editor-in-Chief to our team, and are excited
for all the talents that he brings to the table. Joe
is not only a gifted writer and editor, but he's
also our new resident Bigfoot nut, a trait without
which we've been languishing for many years. Joe
is a fifth-generation Montanan, born in Miles City,
and holds a Masters of English from Montana
State University. We are glad to have him on our team!
As we look forward to the kind of fall only Montana can deliver,
we hope that you, too, are enjoying a warm, pumpkin-spice flavored,
slightly eerie Autumn. Nothing would make us happier than know-
ing that you were reading our magazine next to a roaring fireplace, a
cup of hot cider in your hand, with a dog (or cat, if that's your cuddle
preference) curled contentedly at your feet.
Happy Fall!
