I said, "Let's start at the beginning. When did you get married?" They both looked at each other, smiled, and Micki said, "June 9, 1973. He keeps track of that better than I do." They have been married for 47 years. Micki's father moved to Opheim, Montana, when she was a senior. Her dad was the Superintendent of Schools.

He found a terrific deal from Seattle to...

This column is not meant to be a telling of Cliff Gullickson's life story; it is instead a summation of my observations about the man as I knew him during the time that we were both part of Big Sandy. People might not have thought about it at the time, but a small community is made up of people who play varying roles in the lives of...
