Preceding the conference, community members are invited to an evening talk by Borglum, “Passion & Compassion: A Reflection on the Heart of Caregiving,” on Friday, February 23rd beginning at 7pm. “We are all caregivers,” says Borglum. “There is a joy that goes beyond happiness and sad- ness, wellness and illness, even beyond life and death. Compassion is our true nature. Life becomes incredibly simple when we experience this truth.” This presentation will be held at the Bozeman Dharma Center, located at 1019 E Main St. The event is FREE and open to the public. Seating is limited. For more information, call (406) 223-4707 or the Dharma Center at (406) 219-2140. Gallatin Valley Circle of Compassion, host for the confer- ence, is a volunteer group of local community members who are professionally and/or per- sonally touched by the human experience of death and dying. Their mission: “Connecting, educating and supporting our community on matters related to death and dying.” GVCC’s intention for the conference is that participants will feel empowerment, courage, a sense of calm and confidence, and the ultimate realization that one does not have to be alone on this journey. Conference fees are $40 with advance registration through February 15th, $50 by February 22nd, and $55 at the door. Military or college students enjoy a special rate of $25 with valid ID. Lunch is included in the conference fees. CEUs are available. Further conference details, tickets and downloadable registration forms are available at www.gallatinvalleycircle- ofcompassion.org. Flyers and registration forms are also avail- able at Dokken-Nelson Funeral Services and the Bozeman Dharma Center.

The area was ripe for ice climbing, which was just starting to gain footing thanks to innovations to the ice axe. He and a cadre of young climbing companions returned to the snowy, unplowed road numerous times, gear in hand, ticking off many first ascents in Hyalite, an area that’s now celebrated as a North American mecca of ice climbing. The list of Callis’ early and continued contributions to the climbing community are both lengthy and admirable, but perhaps less- er known is his commitment to research and teaching at MSU. Callis, who’s been described as a “giant among us” will celebrate his 50th year at MSU in 2018, making him the university’s longest-tenured professor. “The excitement of teaching has not gone away,” said Callis, who turns 80 on March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day. “I’m still learning life sciences; I’m still learning biochemistry. Every year I have more biochemical information to give that’s directly associated with physical chemistry, and somehow that just keeps teaching interesting and fulfilling.
