The Annual Custer Quiz.
« on: May 19, 2010, 06:31:04 PM »
For those of you anxiously waiting to help out in my annual Custer quiz, I have sad news. There won't be one this year. Apparently, this is due to a dwindling number of entries. Some of you may remember that, a couple of years ago, I triumphantly  announced that I'd secured third place and picked up a cheque for twenty dollars.
My most recent newsletter announced that, two years ago, only three people entered.....

Oh, joy! The man who thinks Custer's second in command was called Roobarb is going to set the quiz.

I'll meet you in Billings after you drop off the kids for swimming.
Actually, you can't be far from the Northern Montana border.
