Monsour help

Skiing just outside the Big Mountain Ski Resort area, 46-year-old Robert (Bob) Monsour was caught in an avalanche on March 9, 2006. Bob sustained serious injuries as a result of the accident and was flown to Harbor View Medical Center in Seattle where he underwent eight hours of surgery to repair his broken pelvis, leg and internal injuries that occurred during the avalanche.

Bob, a seasonal employee of Glacier National Park, has no health insurance. His friends have established a trust bank account at Glacier Bank of Whitefish to receive donations to help him with expenses while he recovers from his injuries.

Several fund-raising benefits are also planned by the group Friends of Bob Monsour and will be announced when the events are scheduled. To make a donation to help Bob, send your check or money order payable to: Friends of Bob Monsour, c/o Glacier Bank of Whitefish, 319 Second Street, Whitefish MT 59937.
