Montana FWP Salutes Frenchtown’s Bob Culp

Bob Culp and I have been good friends for a long time, and I thought this acknowledgement  was pretty cool! Besides being a genuinely nice man, Bob's patience, thoughtfulness and attention to detail would obviously make him a great instructor. Montana Fish Wildlife and Parks agrees, as they rewarded Bob for 30 years of service as a hunter education instructor! Bob (seen here with Bill Brown, hunting and fishing department manager at Bob Ward's in Missoula) was awarded a $500 check from FWP and treated himself to a new pistol with the winnings. So no, this is NOT footage of Bob holding up the store and settling for a check instead of cash! :-)  Anyway, Bob estimates that's he's taught nearly 2,400 kids hunters safety in western Montana and looks forward to continuing working with the program. Congrats, Bobby! Love ya, man, and here's to another 30 years! And congratulations to others who have put in at least 20 years of service, too, including Patricia Culver of Missoula (20 years hunter ed.), John Benda/Superior and Neil Maier/Frenchtown (20 years bowhunter ed.), Gordon Pierson/Deer Lodge and Ed Zuleger/Clinton (30 years hunter ed.) and Verne Shreve of Florence (35 years hunter ed.)!  DB
