’50s

Bob Lazich ’57 spun cowboy tunes as the voice of Buffalo Bob on afternoon radio while at UM. “Imagine the wake-up call I got this morning [October 19, 2008] as I’m lying in bed listening to ‘Weekend Edition’ on National Public Radio,” he wrote. “They were doing a segment on an old cowboy band very popular in the Pacific Northwest in the 1950s, the Snake River Outlaws. I am the announcer on those fifty-five-year-old radio tapes! I was a student at UM working my way through college as an announcer on the Z-Bar Network, a chain of five stations in Montana. I announced the Saturday night live broadcasts for KXLL radio from the Sunshine Bar on the corner of Woody and Alder. Had a great time doing the shows, really enjoyed the music and the guys who played it. As a footnote, I never got out of broadcasting. A fifty-two-year career, half of the years with the local NBC affiliate here in San Francisco.” Bob began his radio days in his hometown of Butte, attended graduate school in journalism at Columbia, and worked in broadcasting until he turned seventy.

To hear Bob and the digitally remastered Snake River Outlaws, live from Missoula’s Sunshine Bar, Google the NPR broadcast/date or “Snake River Outlaws.” Listen to what the Western Folklife Center describes as a “sound capsule of a time when cowboys, railroaders, college students, college ladies, and vagabonds all hoisted mugs of beer to fine music and western sociability.”

The sixtieth reunion for the class of 1950 will be held May 13-15, 2010. You can see photos and watch a video from this year’s class reunions by logging on to our Web site, www.grizalum.com, and following the “Events/Class Reunion” links.

Letter From Alumni Board President

The University of Montana Alumni Association is the gateway for alumni to “Get connected . . . Stay connected.” UMAA is your lifelong connection to UM. All of us can remember the very first day when we arrived on campus and began our UM experience. As students we were privileged to receive an excellent education on a beautiful campus at the base of Mount Sentinel and in the heart of Western Montana. Our UM experience holds many memories, friendships, and experiences that shaped and continue to enhance the Grizzly alumni we have become. Our time at UM not only provided us with a degree, but equally important, with the lifelong friendships, skills, and opportunities that have shaped us into well-rounded and loyal supporters of UM.

Upon completion of our wonderful time on campus, we all embarked in pursuit of our individual dreams, with each of us creating a unique adventure—yet always mindful of the spirit of our UM experience. We may not always be able to get back to campus, attend UM events, or participate in alumni functions, but we can stay connected—and that is where UMAA excels—fostering connections in the spirit of our UM experience. UM alumni provide valuable connections in extending the spirit of the University through their relationships with future and present students, other alumni, and the many friends of UM. Numerous avenues exist to get connected and stay connected—serving on volunteer boards and committees, assisting prospective students, attending UM events such as Homecoming, linking with former classmates, and contributing your time and talent to the University. Through our own unique UM experiences, along with our past, present, and future connections, the spirit of UM harkens each of us to proudly attest “Once a Grizzly, Always a Grizzly.”

Sharilyn McGuire Campbell ’87, a Great Falls native, earned a degree in accounting with honors from the School of Business Administration.

Stew and Bill began playing in 1958 in the basement of the old College Inn on campus. “We played with the Bob Lucas Sextet at weekly jam sessions,” Stew writes. “Bill was from Great Falls, Bob [Lucas] was from Miles City, and I was from Missoula. Other students included Rex Reike from Wolf Creek, Russ Bluel from Canada, Brinton Markel from Helena, and Paul Thomas from Augusta. Jillian Smith was our vocalist. We have followed with interest the career of Bill’s old roommate, Eric Braeden (Hans Gudegast to us), who has had great success in Hollywood.

Her JAZZINIT CD was in the Top Ten CDs of 2007 on several different polls. “I’ve always felt that as a professional musician who has been blessed, I have a joyful responsibility to share, to pay the blessings and information forward. To be acknowledged for doing so is icing on the cake!” Dee says.

Khelly Wood ’72, writes, “I saw UM’s Crown of the Continent e-mail and found it a delightful trip through my homeland. For fun I volunteer for the Aquarium of the Pacific, one of the top ten aquariums in the world. To be an education interpreter (teacher), I had to graduate from Critter College. I then took advanced shark training so I could hang out with the sharks. No, Virginia, there are no shark cages. Most sharks are under six feet long and eat off the ocean bottom. They are not interested in people food. I continue to be senior physician and director at the Center for Healing Life in Long Beach, Calif.” [Enjoy UM’s Crown of the Continent online magazine at http://issuu.com/crown_of_the_continent/docs/spring2009]

Bob Bronson ’77, Great Falls, is the 2009 recipient of the Montana Society of CPAs George D.

It was the definition of controlled confusion and mass energy. With more than 2,000 people involved in the process, it was a coordination feat to say the least.”

’00

Robin Hensley Blazer ’00 and Willie Blazer ’00, Ennis, had their business, Willie’s Distillery, profiled on MSN’s Business on Main series. “It all started with a silly 200-word essay, ‘What is your business challenge?’ that I submitted on a whim,” Robin writes. “A few days after submission, they called to make sure we were real people. Then, they began calling regularly. Eventually, I received release forms and then a congratulatory e-mail. We were one of twelve businesses across the nation to make it all the way through. A film crew arrived in Ennis mid-May to check out the area and to interview me. I eventually met with Jim Koch, brewer and founder of Sam Adams, at the Boston Beer Company.” Watch Robin’s episode on www.businessonmain.msn.com.
