I’ve recently finished my first month as the new executive director for the Montana State University-Northern Foundation, and it’s an amazing time to be a part of all that is happening at MSU-Northern.

While both The American Legion and Montana Department of Transportation acknowledge the need some people feel to express themselves in this way, the placement of private memorials within a roadway’s r...
