I'm a 2002 graduate in mathematics. I live in St. Louis where I'm in medical school and will graduate in 2006. Eventually I'm hoping to make it back to Montana and hopefully even Bozeman.

1993 Political Science.

I got my commission in the USAF upon graduation and have been moving every three years (or less) since then. I've been stationed in Illinois (Scott AFB), Georgia (Robins AFB), Montana (Malmstrom AFB), Omaha (Offutt AFB), and Hawaii (Hickam AFB).

Miss the Valley a lot...hope to retire there when my stint in the military is done in a few years.

1987 Grad: Business/Finance. Grew up (yeah right) in Polson.

Did the "Fortune 500" thing for 5 years in Seattle & Portland; ran into a TON of Cats in those 2 cities. Decided to move back to MT in 92. Now own a business in Kalispell - Gas station/Convenience Store/Car Wash facility on Hwy 93 at the south entrance to town.

Sigma Chi PLEDGE; decided not to join because they actually expected me to show up & clean the house after drinking/carousing/puking all night! CAN YOU IMAGINE??? lol

Divorced now; 2 beautiful daughters ages 11 & 9. Oldest is a fledgling volleyballer; taking her to Bozo in a couple weeks for 2 matches and the Bobcat football game.

Hate the winters, but overall, love being close to home, relatives, and THE Montana State University.

I was looking back over this thread and I realized I never posted on here. Also we have had a lot of random threads started for each area so I was thinking it would be great if all the newer people here to fill us in as well.

So for me, I am a 2004 graduate in Business Finance now living and working in Bend, OR. It is a great place to be if you can't be in Bozeman.

Thanks for the prompt rtb, I haven't entered a post on this thread either.

93 ME grad working in the oil/gas industry. I spent several years out of college in numerous locations before ending up in Wyoming (as close to Montana as I could get and still use my degree/experience).

Married (to an Oklahoma State girl) with 2 boys (future multisport Cats on full rides I am sure

) 5 & 2. The longer I am here the more I am amazed at the differences between Montana and Wyoming even as close as they are. Those of you lucky enough to be in Montana still - don't take it for granted.

That is the plan right now. I am about 80% sure that I have even worked out a way for my company to pay for our trip (long story better told over a cold one) so it should be a great way to kick off the season. If I make that one and the Weber game in Ogden plus at least 2 home games I will get to see at least 4 games next season.

Good deal. I'm thinking about going down as well (with a short stopover in Denver in between) and make that my end of summer trip. It should be a fun atmosphere down there .. never know .. we might make it close!

Cat Grad · Post by **Cat Grad** » Fri Jan 21, 2005 3:18 pm

Finally got a degree from MSU in 78 along with my Army Commission. Spent 21 years on active duty and in the reserves, went to grad school while teaching in Georgia where my coursework was actually review of what I received in Bozo as an undergrad, and returned to Montana three years ago to help my mother with the caretaking of my father. Plan on taking next school year off just to go watch the Cats, hunt and fish, even though the hunting and fishing in the south was much better than anything I grew up with in the Valley (said that with a straight face). But I know some places along the Missouri and Yellowstone that have some decent sized bucks...

'96 grad in Chemical Engineering. Graduate May '05 Master's in Environmental Engineering from University of Washington.

'91 Electrical Engineering (We'll the official transcript says '92 due to "spending too much time at the Rockin' R" or some such thing! Married an MSU alumni (different 'EE' - Elementary Ed.) We have three kids: 7,5 & 1. We've taken them to all the home football games the past two years. The oldest says he's going to play for the Bobcats, then the Packers.

If there are any EE's out there who are seeking a job in Billings, send me a PM! I work for a great company, business is good and I need to hire some people! Approx. 80 employees in Billings and 150 company wide.

Accounting '95. Worked for Price Waterhouse in Portland for 6+ years (and as is typical, I met my wife there). Left PW about 3 1/2 years ago to go to work for a little shoe company here in Beaverton.

Is Brian Literski (sp?) over there with you? If he is, give him a shot to the sack for me.
