Oh to be in Montana

I’m still feeling peevish about Brian’s Schott’s feeling that while he lives in Montana, Boston will always be home (Whitefish Pilot, May 1.) He’s obviously fortunate enough to be able to earn a decent living in Montana, a state with far too few well paying jobs.

Service jobs rule the region and many folks have to work more than one job to make a living in Montana. While I consider Montana my home, my husband and I had to move to Virginia for work. I yearn for the day that my husband and I can return home to Montana to live and work. I won’t pine away for anywhere else.
