Chris R. Hardgrave ’99, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, was a contestant last October on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? “Millionaire came to Tulsa and had tryouts at a tribal casino,” Chris explains. “Twelve hundred people showed up. Out of the people that passed the thirty-question, ten-minute test, I was one of four chosen. The ‘hot seat’ is surprisingly uncomfortable. If it were a Lazy Boy they would be giving away a lot more money. The bright lights and the two hundred people audience were also a little intimidating.” Chris “walked” at the $50,000 level and purchased his first computer with part of his winnings.

After graduating from UM, Chris hitchhiked to New Orleans where he waited tables at the Cajun Club on Bourbon Street and experienced Hurricane Katrina. He’s hiked 200 miles in Sierra Nevada on the John Muir Trail and snowboarded easily as many miles. Today he’s a waiter at the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, where he’s rubbed elbows with some of the country’s greatest golfers. “For now I’m just sitting on [the rest of the money] until I can turn it into the million dollars,” Chris laughs.

Linda McCarthy - Montana Alumni Award Recipient, 2008

Linda Kay McCarthy received the Alumni Association’s Montana Alumni Award at Charter Day, UM’s 115th birthday celebration, held February 19. A Missoula resident since entering UM in 1985, McCarthy received her bachelor’s degree in communication studies in 1991 and her master’s degree in public administration in 1999. McCarthy worked as a student assistant for both UM admissions and sports information. She served as the assistant director of sports information from 1989 to 1999 and represented UM at several NCAA championships and USA Track and Field National Championships, including the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials.

In 1999 McCarthy began her tenure as the executive director for the Missoula Downtown Association, an organization that has nearly tripled in growth and membership over the last nine years. MDA produces upward of forty membership and forty public events each year, many in conjunction with The University of Montana. McCarthy’s assistance with town-and-gown events involving the Alumni Association is legend. She currently serves on the board of directors of the Missoula Convention and Visitors Bureau and volunteers for UM’s Center for Leadership Development.

McCarthy’s husband, Tom Gallagher, is the program director for the computer technology program at the UM College of Technology. They have two children, Madelyn, six, and Samuel, four.

The following awards also were presented at Charter Day:

Yellowhorn is an assistant professor of First Nations Studies and Archaeology at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia and co-author of First Peoples in Canada.

Letter from the alumni director

The Alumni Association welcomes as many alumni as possible to participate in Homecoming 2008. For many people, Homecoming means purchasing a ticket for the Grizzly football game. Due to this year's increased season-reserved ticket sales and additional student seating, the Alumni Office only will have 550 tickets to sell for the game, down from the 1,350 available last fall.

This reduced number of tickets presents a challenge for alumni who want to watch the game in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. But with all challenges come opportunities. The Alumni Association is planning the largest tented tailgate party ever held on the UM campus. Giant TV screens inside the tent, plenty of tables, food, and beverages will allow alumni to enjoy game-day atmosphere without being inside the stadium.

 The traditional Homecoming pep rally, bonfire, Singing On the Steps (SOS), and fireworks will be held on the Oval Wednesday evening. On Friday we will enjoy the presentation of the Distinguished Alumni Awards, academic open houses, and the All-Alumni Reception at the Holiday Inn. Saturday’s Homecoming Parade, the largest parade in the state, will start at 10 A.M. and lead alumni and friends to campus. 

 We hope to see you at Homecoming 2008 making this year’s event the largest ever, whether you're inside the stadium or enjoying the Grizzly Tent Party.

We will keep you updated on details regarding the stadium ticket sales and the Grizzly Tent Party. We anticipate using news releases, special mailings to reunion groups, and postings on our Alumni Association Web page to keep you informed. We will work hard to make the sale of stadium tickets as equitable as possible. Tickets that we have available will go on sale Tuesday, July 1. The price per ticket has yet to be determined.

 Homecoming 2008—September 17-20. See you there!

’50s

Dorothy Weinberg Arnold ’57, Anchorage, Alaska, had already taught elementary school for twelve years in Montana, Colorado, and Alaska before receiving her undergraduate degree from UM. A physical education major, Dorothy taught skiing and swimming while attending UM. She spent thirty-two years teaching before retiring, but soon realized she missed the kids too much. Dorothy signed up to substitute teach and her phone hasn’t quit ringing since. “By the time I am too old to substitute,” she explains, “I will have more years in the classroom than when I was a full-time teacher.” Dorothy substitutes most weekdays and, as a sixty-year member of the National Ski Patrol, works most winter weekends on the ski hill. In the summers Dorothy takes Benny, her pet skunk, to the state fair to teach Alaskans about skunks, an animal not native to the state. “I can only sit for a couple of hours playing pinochle,” Dorothy admits. “Then I have to get up and do something.”

Our next venture will be managing two blogs, grizzlyjournal.com and missoulajournal.com, as well as freelance writing, editing, and graphics work. Glenn has been involved in journalism his whole career, whatever the job, and now will have time to pursue what he really loves: Grizzly sports and Missoula lifestyle. Our daughter, Kendra Junkert Strand ’03, is in her second year of the Ph.D. program in Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, on a five-year scholarship. Kendra’s thesis work centers on Japanese literature of the fourteenth century. She and her husband, Gregory Strand ’01, spent two years in Takamatsu, Japan, participating in the JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) program as teaching assistants to elementary and junior high school English teachers in the Takamatsu public school system. Thanks for consistently producing such a top-notch magazine—the writing is interesting and the design is beautifully done. We always look forward to its arrival.”

Mary Jean Sappenfield Gilman ’72, Seattle, writes, “My husband, Bob (a Bobcat), and I were fortunate to stay in Bali, Republic of Indonesia, for a month last summer. We were following our decades-long interest in gamelan, the traditional music of Bali. I was able to do sixteen watercolors of Balinese scenes, which I now treasure.

A student in the arts in education program, Holly explores how movement can support learning. In December she choreographed and performed Eat Pray Love at the Harvard-Radcliff Dance Company’s fall performance. “Rollins made the entire performance seem effortless,” reports the Harvard Crimson, describing her dance on a large metal hoop suspended from the ceiling. Prior to graduate school, Holly attended the National Institute of Circus Arts, an undergraduate department at Australia’s Swinburne University, where students can earn a bachelor’s degree in circus arts. “In Australia, contemporary circus is approached as an art form,” Holly said in an interview, likening the program to majoring in theater or painting. She has designed curriculum, taught movement improvisation to undergraduates, and choreographed several circus spectacles. Eventually Holly wants to return to Australia—to teach. “I want to use the resources of the university’s circus school to craft a program for children that would entail a classroom of students creating and planning their own small circus show,” she explains.
