I was reading the local newspaper yesterday...The Miles City Star
(Montana) and they have a column called Stardust, about what happened
25, 50 and 100 years ago here in Miles City. In the 100 years ago
section there was a little tidbit that I found highly interesting. I'll
quote it exactly as it was printed in the paper. Keep in mind that what
was said here was printed 100 years ago...1906...in the Miles City Star:
"R. B. Sigafoos, northwestern manager of the American DeForest
Wireless Telegraph Co., gave a talk at the court house Friday night on
the system. Wireless telephones, yea, even pocket telephones no larger
than a man's watch, are promised by Mr. Sigafoos as the system
developes."
Like I said...this was 100 years ago. This guy had a firm grip on
what
was to come didn't he ??? Just thought I'd share this.

It's not really all that surprising. Montanans have always been light
years ahead of everyone else.
