Today’s guest is one I have been hoping to land for a couple of years now. He is interesting, to say the least. Roy Ivy is a fellow Gen Xer who grew up in Texas and traveled around the world in a band before making his way to the Mining City. That came after stops in Chicago, where he played music, wrote movie reviews and took part in the improv scene, and Missoula.

His performances left coaches around the state scratching their heads in disbelief. Once again, though, the day featured some impressive scores from some Butte High Bulldogs. That included a pair of top-10 performances. Butte High senior Kate DeShaw held onto fourth place on the girls’ leaderboard, while Bulldog junior Jack Muhlstein moved up to take seventh in the boys’ race.

That day, Knights of Columbus Hall will hold a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of that fateful day. A 3:30 p.m. ceremony will include a blessing from Rev. Tom Haffey and remarks from Chief Executive J.P. Gallager, Sheriff Ed Lester and Butte-Silver Bow firefighter Derek Harvey.
The ceremony will be held at the memorial, which was unveiled in March of 2002 and includes a print of a painting by Butte artist Mike Hamblin. New York City firefighter Michael O’Hanlon and New York City police officer Thomas Patrick O’Riordan traveled to Butte for that ceremony. O’Hanlon passed away from 9/11-related cancer in 2017.
Now, 25 years later, we will show that O’Hanlon and the rest of the heroes from 9/11 will never be forgotten with another service at the KC.
Everyone has stories about 9/11. Here are some from retired Butte firefighter Bernie Boyle and current Butte-Silver Bow firefighter Shane “Bucky” Worley.

Next Friday will mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. While 25 years might seem like a long time, those of us old enough to have lived through that day remember it like it was yesterd…
