Walter Matthau "Hello to Montanans" videorecording 1998

http://nwda.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv05841

The Walter Matthau video is a "Hello to Montanans," particularly to those attending the September 1998 Civilian Conservation Corps reunion in Libby, Montana. In under three minutes, Matthau says hello, recalls his CCC days in 1939 including a fire on Dead Horse Ridge, enjoying the company of the other men, the good food, gaining 30 pounds of mostly muscle, and he tells a brief anecdote about Lawrence Welk.
