Contributor Bio(s): Mulvaney, Tom: - Helena native Tom Mulvaney has collected Montana images on postcards for decades. A graduate of Carroll College in 1970, he later did graduate work at Montana State University in Bozeman in addition to stints as a schoolteacher, coach, sportswriter, and computer programmer/analyst. Postcards from his private collection, along with those loaned by several Bozeman and Gallatin County friends, provide a choice sampling of images showing scenes from Montana's beautiful Gallatin Valley. |
