We are planning on doing a 50th anniversary Lolo IHC T-shirt, so if you’d like one, please also indicate number of shirts by size (S, M, L, XL). Cost of the shirt will be 15$/shirt, and proceeds will be donated to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation.
Crew patches will also be sold at the door, and proceeds will also go to the WFF.
We would also like to invite crewmembers to write or record a story related to time spent with the crew. These can be sent early, or brought digitally or printed to the event, and Matt will compile these written and oral histories into a document that will be sent out to attendees post-event. This document will also be archived within the crew history project.

REUNION DATE!
Looks like we have a tentative date for a 50th Lolo Hotshost Crew reunion. From Matt Gibson:
Happy new year everyone, the year Lolo turns 50! I set a fairly firm date with Tim for the 50th on April 30th, 2011. I've got some calling to do next week, but we'll be trying to shoot for Marshall Mountain, and have a couple ideas for back-ups if needed. Please contact me, Dewey, Patty, Michael or Bill by phone or email if you'd like to assist in any way, and I'll try to do better posting info here as well.

Please spread the word about this Facebook page! I'm also working on some low-tech approaches for those who don't 'book, 'tweet, 'skype, 'vent, ICQ, or otherwise generate digital footprints. . .and it never hurts to call your long lost buddies from the crew, either!
I will post updates as I get them. You can also check this Facebook page: Lolo Hotshots.
Please call your old crew buddies and spread the word!
