Reunion Hosts 
 
Your 2010 Montana hosts are Gary & Licia Bishop.  Gary served with B Btry, 2/20 ARA June 68 - Jun 69 as a Warrant Officer and Cobra pilot.  He was commissioned a 2nd Lt. the day before he left VietNam, by (then) Maj Gus Cianciolo, B Btry Cmdr, at Phuoc Vinh. 

Gary retired as a Major from the 11th ACR in Fulda, W. Ger, in 1986.  He teaches business and management at Montana State University in Bozeman.

Licia was born and raised in London, England. She is an avid gardner, loves Montana, and has followed Gary just about all over the world.  They met in Nairobi, Kenya, and that's other whole story. 

With them is "Cooper", their Yellow Lab, who is a Montana native, and loves the snow about as much as a dog can.  His best friend besides Gary & Licia is a tennis ball!

Gary & Licia and Cooper have lived in Bozeman since 2003, having come back almost to Gary's roots.  His Grandfather,Albert Lafette Bishop was a cowboy in Dillion, MT at the turn of the century - What a hoot, that must have been.
 This picture was taken in Cottonwood Canyon a couple of years ago while searching out our Christmas tree. Yes, we really do need to use snowshoes here, especially if you are in the backcounty.  The snow here was about 48" deep.

Cooper was in "dog heaven" with all the snow.  We can usually expect to have snow on the ground about 7-8 months out of the year.  
We've put a photo album below for you to take a look at with a few more pictures of Montana.  The pictures were all taken at home or near there including in Yellowstone and on the FLying D Ranch.
