How Montana got the name Montana?

Some people believe that Montana comes from the evil word but no it is not. There are many Montana and different type of Montana. it could b a name of a rock star or it could be a mounting or a place. But now in this world people thinks Montana is and Evil person. When I was little, my grandparents would take me fishing. Often, Grandma would divert my attention, while Gramps would sneak one of his fish on my hook, and then slide it back into the water. They would help me reel it in and brag about what a good little fisherman I was. Later, it was just Gramps and me, and although I was older, I always talked Gramps into baiting my hook. I think he preferred it that way -- it kept me close, and safe. Finally, I learned to tie and bait my own hook. We would now split up to fish, but I knew the odd noises in the bushes were probably Gramps, trying quietly to check on me. Time passed; we both grew older and I became reluctant to separate from Gramps while fishing. Age had made his heart weaker; his sight faded, and he was less agile. Now I wanted him by MY side and I was the one in the bushes watching so as not to injure his pride. Finally it happened. It was late afternoon, and we were rigging o ur poles. Gramps was having trouble and he said "Guess my eyes ain't what they use to be. Think you could tie my hook for me?" I stood in silence at the wonderment of how life comes full circle. Now it was my turn to tie his hook, to worry about his safety, to care for the caretaker. It was my privilege to do so. Now, when I tie a hook for my sons, my thoughts turn to that last outing with my grandfather. And I thank God for the opportunity to experience that circle of life.Doug
