DK: Well, I was born on December 5,1945, in Fairview, Montana. BB: And what were the dates in which you served in the legislature? DK: I served there in '75 and '76, and then took a term off, and served again from '79 to '84. BB: And you were speaker of the House of Representatives in the '83 session? DK: Yes, that's right, and I was minority leader in the '81 session.
