After almost 4 yrs I transferred to the newly opened station at Sterling, CO. After three months I accepted a Senior Agents job at Lincoln, NE. After 3 years and a few months I stated I was going to bid the next managers job even if it was Wolf Point and that's where I ended up for the next to very cold winters. I bid and won the managers position at Gallup then on to a new station at Missoula, MT. (MSO service started Oct 1, 1967.) After starting my career on August 24th 1956 it all ended exactly 30 years later on August 23 1986. Since August of 86, I worked for about 10 years as a US Customs Agent at the Missoula Airport then accepted complete and final retirement and have enjoyed every day of it. I am looking forward to my first copy of the Frontier News. -Bob Bricker (5/29/07) I was very interested in the tribute to King Herrington by his son-in-law in the Summer 2009 issue. While King and his brother Sam were attending Akron High they rented rooms in the basement of our home. Some how they managed to extract skunk scent and put it in a bottle and were using it to tease girls at school. My mother found out about it and ordered them to get it out of the house. They buried it in the back yard with a 6 year old boy named Bob Bricker watching. Of course I had to dig it up later in order to show it to the neighbor girl and dropped it on the sidewalk. We lived within a block of the elementary school and school was let out for the rest of the day. King and Sam spent hours with shovels and wheelbarrow hauling dirt to cover a large section of our sidewalk. I don't think My mother ever forgave them. -Bob Bricker (7/24/09) Thanks a great story, Bob. Thanks for sharing. -Jake Lamkins (7/24/09) 10 years US customs agent MSO.

Today I got a call from Robert Bricker who worked in Denver and Missoula Mt. He is currently in a nursing home in Missoula...no family around--his oldest son passed away, his youngest son lives in Washington State and his granddaughter in North Carolina. He wanted to know if any of his old friends were still around. I gave him the names of those folks I have Missoula address for... and I think he would love to hear from those folks in Missoula or anyone who knows/remembers Bob... if you are interested...send me a message and I will privately send you his phone and address. I think a visit or two would be much appreciated. -Carolyn Boller (7/6/21) FLacebook on 2/14/22 Tom Schmidt shared a link. My friend Bob Bricker passed away last Thursday. Rest In Peace, Bob.
