Episode Transcript

OK Solberg (00:01):
I wanna again welcome you to the 04:05 coffee
break. Guys, get you a cup ofcoffee, glass iced tea, bottle
of water. Let's see what'shappening out there. Spring
wheat, $5.14 a bushel. 550pounds steer calf, $3.41 a pound
on the top end.
I'll tell you more about Orvineating crow later. Butcher hog

(00:23):
in Iowa will bring you 61¢ apound and a 100 pound lamb
that's fat in Billings, $2 and anickel, $2.05 a pound. But guys,
there's more, much more.
Okay. It's Friday, and I haveour Friday bible verse to set
the stage. Here it is. Donothing out of selfish ambition

(00:48):
or vain conceit, rather, inhumility value others above
yourselves. Philippians 2:5 Iselected that verse for a very
important reason. Do nothing outof selfish ambition or vain
conceit.
See? If I disregard that verse,well, I just might talk about

(01:13):
baseball all the time. I likebaseball. You know that. But not
everyone enjoys it as much as Ido, so I shouldn't try to shove
my stuff down your throats allthe time.
But did you hear that CalRaleigh from the Seattle
Mariners now has hit 60 homeruns in a single season? The

(01:34):
most of any catcher in thehistory of the sport, Oh, yeah.
And did you know the regularseason ends on Sunday, the day
after tomorrow? That means theplayoffs start on Tuesday. Yes.
Oh, yeah. And the World Seriesbegins on October 24. But enough
of that. I'm speaking out ofselfish ambition. I know some

(02:00):
that like to look at oldPhillips County newspapers, so
let's do that.
Did you realize that back in1980, some 45 years passed, Lynn
and Don Brewer were married, aswell as Alan and Christine
Snyder. They too were married,and there's a couple here that

(02:20):
tied the knot named Orvin andThea that same year. 1980 was a
good year. Flashback evenfurther. In the fall of 1969, we
see a front page heading thatreads, Gene Peigneux shot Sunday
by unknown party.

(02:41):
Eugene Walter Gene Peigneux, 17,is reported to be doing well at
the Deaconess Hospital inGlasgow after being struck with
a high powered rifle whilehunting on Sunday morning. Gene
and his brother, Larry, 15, werehunting on separate ridges on

(03:01):
their father's ranch north ofFirst Creek Hall about 40 miles
south of Malta. A stray riflebullet hit Gene passing through
his right wrist without touchingthe bone and into his right side
passing through his body outthrough his back on the left
side. End of quote. And I wantyou to know that Gene is still

(03:24):
alive and doing well in the towncalled Billings, Montana because
I spoke with him on the phonejust yesterday.
It wasn't his time, guys.Someone was looking over him.
Now that story should never beforgotten. I'm gonna do even
more on it on Monday. Okay.
So I threw in a little baseball.Hey. Hey. I'm getting better. A

(03:48):
little from old Phillips Countynewspapers.
Now how about a bit of quiltingtrivia? Did you know that in
World War two, American womenmade red Red Cross quilts for
military personnel and donatedthem to hospitals in Europe.

(04:09):
Some even stitched them out offlower sacks, parachute silk, or
old clothing due to wartimerationing. Interestingly, secret
messages and names weresometimes sewn into the quilts.
A way to send love, to sendprayers, or to send a patriotic

(04:31):
encouragement to the frontlines.
I like that. The clock isticking, but I have time for one
more. You know, guys on The 405we cover a vast array of items.
For you old rock and roll loversout there, did you realize in
the 1969 hit song by the RollingStones titled Gimme Shelter? Now

(04:56):
it was an apocalyptic anthemborn out of the chaos of the
late sixties.
Guys, remember? Late sixtieswere tragic. Keith Richards
wrote the haunting riff whilewaiting for his girlfriend who
was late. Mick Jagger's vocalsare searing, but what really

(05:17):
made the song is Mary Clayton'sspine chilling guest vocals
recorded at 2AM while she waspregnant. And side note, Keith
Richards is still alive and wellat 81 years of age, and he'll
turn 82 on December 18.
All sorts of interesting stuffout there. I don't think I'll

(05:40):
ever run out of things to talkabout. And, oh, PS, Mustang
football tonight in Cutbank. TheMustangs take on the Wolves. Go
blue. Mustangs, undefeated thusfar.
So until next time, as you goout there, remember now, don't
be bitter.

Doc The DJ (06:02):
Okay. We have a special announcement, so I'm
going to turn it over to Orvinto make the announcement.

OK Solberg (06:11):
I wanna again welcome you to the 04:05 coffee
break. No. That's not what Imeant. We interrupt this program
for this special bulletin. Guys,if you listen to The 405, I told
you Alan and Christine Snydergot married. Don and Lynn Brewer
got married back in 1980. Infact, Orvin and Thea got married

(06:32):
back in 1980. But guess what? In1980, KMMR came on the airwaves
when? September 26th. That'stoday.
