Wow this is so crazy. Jay looked like he was moving a little slow there. Bob Riggle jumped out of the car. checking to see how much damage happen to the car. Sad to see the car all smashed up, funny seeing Jay fly around in the car. Glad to see know one was hurt except the car.. I wonder if the wreck was on Jay’s Bucket List?

1909 – Present
|
| When Broadwater Elementary School opened its doors in 1909, local newspapers were featuring daily accounts of explorer Robert Peary’s discovery of the North Pole and President William Howard Taft’s Butte whistlestop. The school was built on the edge of town to accomodate the westward moving population. The 1910 U.S. census lists the population at 10,013. The land for Broadwater was purchased for the sum of $3000 from the Suburban Homes Company. The school was built in three sections at three different periods of time – 1909, 1916, and 1920. A stand alone annex was built in 1956. Designed by Billings architect Curtis Oehme, Broadwater is an example of the Renaissance Revival style typical in the early 1900’s. The rooms still have original wooden floors, closets with ornate metal coat hooks, and doors that slide vertically. When closed, the doors double as chalk boards. One of the most distinctive and remembered details of the school is a circular fire escape slide from the top floor that is still in use. Today, the school is home to over 340 students in kindergarten through the sixth grade. The school was designed by architect Curtis Oehme.

Chandler at the age of 6 with our Chow Chow..
Chandler leaving on a airplane to Fort Benning, and Chandler at graduation ceremonies (Pinning of the Blue cords). Chandler and his trainer Duvall the guy Chandler hated, but when its all done Duvall did his job. Chandler is happy at Fort Bragg. I’m thankful for Duvall for his dedication for putting up with the young recruits. Chandler also saw past the yelling and had Duvall pin the blue cords on him (respect).
Thank you again….
