“I had the pleasure to introduce myself to Mark Ricks, (if you don’t remember what he was known for over 30 years ago this month, he took a major part in heading up the relief effort after the Teton Dam broke and before the federal officials were able to arrive, great story-if anyone wants to know more, let me know). I was also impressed to see that the Idaho Statesman had sent columnist Dan Popkey to cover the event. I was able to talk with him for a short moment before he had to run to cover a meeting but I was able to relate to him a small bit about the now infamous HBO blog ban in the KC Courthouse up there in CDA. Stay Tuned for more info about what Risch and Otter will be speaking about tomorrow.”
