My roots are deeply embedded in the Treasure State of Montana, reaching back to the mining days of Butte and Virginia City, Territory of Montana.

My Grandfather Pollard arrived in Butte in 1878 and obtained a position in the copper mines. Moving to Virginia City in 1892 he embarked upon a career in the hotel business, owning and operating hotels in V.C. and Red Lodge, MT.

Grandmother was born and raised in the mining town of Virginia City, Territory of Montana, in 1877. Married in 1896 they settled in Red Lodge where they owned and operated the Pollard Hotel for many years.

Adventure definitely has been a part of my heritage. I too was raised in this beautiful state...but as many Montanans, left to see the country. My travels have led to Alaska, Cape Cod and even a period of time working on the Mighty Mississippi River.

As the cliché goes, once a Montanan, always a Montanan. I too returned to the Treasure State to make it my home and to enjoy the benefits it has to offer. With the love and support of my friends and my three children, Tom, Karen and Michael, together with their families, I once again have embarked upon a "new" adventure.
