I received a copy of volume 1 for Christmas this year and I am so excited to read it. Mrs. Kauffman taught me in 4th grade and some of 3rd grade. She was the best teacher I have ever had and ever anticipate having. Thank you for this wonderful book and God bless you.

Hi Aunt Gladys - I didn't know about your website until just today. Congrats on the book. I remember talk of it years ago. It has truly been a labor of love. I look forward to reading it. Love you - Sally
My Grandfather was James Edward Lamphier and was married to Mary Helen Schumacher. He was a dryland farmer and went bust then moved to Glendive.
Mary was a cook at the GN Depot cafeteria. My dad was Carl A. Lamphier and my mother was Ruth Alvina Hagen.
Thank you.
Knew Lucy and Baily Fisher. Love cowboy history!! Am going to order her books, ordered some already.My dad was Clem Samuelson of Brockton and he ran the elevator an Baily Fisher was on the board. Lucy was a very knowledgeable Lady and alot insite into the cowboys.
Dear Gladys - after all this time, I'm just checking out your website! It has been very enjoyable knowing the decendents of my uncle, E. B. Chaney, and I really like your "As I Remember" books since I've been in part of the area and my parents lived there for a few years in the earlly 1900's. Also nice to read about the man in Glendive were my mother got my middle name: Desmond! Enjoyed our Alaska Cruise a year ago! Now, I'm looking forward to your book about teaching school in the 40's in rural Montana one room schools!
Enjoyed your 1st vol and looking forward to Vo. II. Am a native of Glendive and practice law there until I went to Washington DC in 1961. Still consider myself a Montanan, even after 40 uears in Northern Va. and a total of
3.5 in Florida.

Hello Mrs. Kauffman. I look forward to reading your book.
I just ordered a set of books for my mother, Celia Krueger Lambrecht Chynoweth, who grew up in Carlyle. I also look forward to reading the books myself! Thank you for recording an important part of the history of eastern Montana.

Congratulations Gladys and Kent!!
You are great to deal with as I help sell your great new book. Can't keep them on the shelf here at the Ranger-Review. And to think that when I lived across the street from you and your family in Glendive and on Grant avenue, I thought you were just a great family, but actually you are a wonderful and talented family!!!
Great success on this book and any others that you have in the works. I will enjoy selling them and hearing the wonderful comments from the customers that have family information in the books. Sheila Kunick
Great to make another connection to an old (or shall I say "older") classmate. Good to hear from you Kent!
Excellent idea on the book. I'll have to pick up a copy. I might be in Glendive next week so I'll have to look one up.
Have a great day !

MaryAnn came home with the first copy.What a coincidence. I read the first story and recognized names & places. You and your children are to be commended for working together and doing a great job. What a great contribution to the history of Eastern Montana. Thank-you & God Bless You & your Family!!
Thanks for your publication. Excited it includes my Grandfather Nils Trangmoe. He and his family arrived in Dawson County in 1906. The Trangmoe family are observing the 100 year event with a reunion in Glendive in July 2006. I await to read the book.
Gladys, I am thankful you had the foresight to capture these historical memories before they faded away. My heavens, it was such a different time then. Congratulations on getting your book published!

These are marvelous stories, and the collection will be an important part of Montana history. Congratulations!
Hi, Gladys. Jolene told me about your site so I just had to check it out. I'm looking forward to reading your book when it comes out. What a neat contribution to Montana history.
I was very interested in the story in the Montana Best Times, April 2006. I work at the Frontier Gateway Museum in Glendive and have read many of the stories which are on file at the museum.
As a descendant of an early settler in eastern Montana, I am very interested in the book. I have heard many tales about the early days in Dawson Co. I'm anxious to read about more of them.
These stories are amazing and extraordinary. Another word that I could use is Awesome or Wow! Each story I've read makes me more appreciative of the times I've lived in. Thanks, Mrs. Kauffman, for your deep desire to have these stories told.
