I have attended Ms. Thompson’s presentations and have always found her to be knowledgable and very thorough.
Very well organized and presented .
Very informative and a treasure of information.
Simply the best.
I can apply about 50% of the information to states in addition to Montana. Montana was the focus of the presentation.
Excellent and overwhelming. Must get the family info from the Historical Society before it closes. Ranchers, miners, merchants, oh my!
Very informative.
