Chris! Hello! I am amazed and thrilled that I happened upon your newsletter and this particular post! I am from Dixon (Dixon was last home base when living in MT years ago, family still there, yada yada, anyway, which can explain my feeling amazed!), a new writer on Substack, and I am, as I type, doing a Featured Writer piece on Hugo, Welch and a couple of others. I actually found this post in a google search of the Dixon Bar-- out of curiosity and wondering if there were any other poets who have penned poems about it. Well, currently I am here and discovering that you are the current Montana Poet Laureate! Congratulations on that honor! I look forward to reading your work! Thus far, I have read this piece. What an article and what an encounter with Bud! He is and always has been a 'pistol'! I hold a slew of memories of the Dixon Bar, Joanne (Bud's mom), and Bud, but I won't get into any of that here! Just wanted to say hello and relay the smile that this piece brought me. Thanks so much! ~Wendy
