Backroads of Montana - Program Updates
Episode Six “Scobey to West Yellowstone” (1995) – The Prairie Symphonette is still playing concerts in Scobey and Pork Chops John’s is still a Butte favorite (with outlets in other Montana cities).   Maggie Merriman still gives fly fishing lessons in West Yellowstone.  In a sad post script to this episode, Marion and Margaret Pyeatt, the couple who built the baling twine teepee near Wise River, died in a tragic accident in their home in Dec. 2004.  Margaret was a beloved teacher and Marion an accomplished tradesman in Dillon.  They will be missed by all who knew them.
