[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 18 July 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gilmore and Pittsburgh Railroad, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Go K. Ross!

Yep, Winter 1981, about six months before he passed away. Took it right when ARCO shut down Anaconda. Oh yeah, did he feel the proof was in the pudding? Oh my... Most interesting class I ever had, and the only one where the class gave the professor a standing ovation at the end. Montanabw 19:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I took his class fall quarter of 1980 -- and I agree: best class I ever had, and the only one with a standing ovation at the end. Historically, nothing will ever compare. Do take a look at the expanded bio I did for him, will you? Thanks! Pitamakan 19:29, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Your bio looks fine, much better than what was there. but now I can't remember if I took his class fall of 1980 or winter of 1981, but it was cold outside, I remember that much(!)...Maybe we were in the same class (along with 1000 other people!)...was it when ARCO started shutting down Anaconda that you were there? All I know is that was in the UT, I think the next time he did the class, it was the videotaped one, the last he taught. Now, here's the question, what WAS the incident where Hugo Aronson (the "galloping Swede") accused Toole of "starting dat riot?" I thought it was a labor thing, not student protest, I remember reading something about it in the Missoulian around the time he died...Montanabw 20:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I bet you and I were in the same class! (I was the quiet kid up in the balcony ... *g*) If I remember right, Toole didn't teach that last winter quarter, because he was in Helena molesting the Legislature ... the spring quarter class was the one that was videotaped. And I remember hearing the news one day about Anaconda shutting down, and thinking that K. Ross was going to have something to say about that ... and when I went to class, of course he did! It's amazing how that one class was THE common element for an entire decade of UM students -- everyone took it, and everyone remembers it.
I don't know the story with Aronson at all, but I do know a couple of historians I can ask ... I'll get back to you if I find anything out. Pitamakan 05:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Great photo of Huron.

Just wanted to thank you for the nice photo of Huron University (especially with that sign!) for the article. --Bobak 15:49, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

You're most welcome! I've been doing some Wiki stuff on other closed colleges, so I drove by the campus last week when I was in town ... and when I saw the "For Sale" sign I knew a photo was mandatory! I wish Huron and its little campus the best, though things seem pretty grim. Pitamakan 16:25, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
