A terrible mess

A big-time, big-game hunter went on a

safari with his wife and mother-in-law.
One evening, while still deep in the jungle,
the Mrs awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing
to her husband, she insisted on them both trying
to find her mother.
The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig
of whiskey, and started to look for her. In a
clearing not far from the camp, they came upon
a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed
up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a
large male lion stood facing her.
The wife cried, What are we going to do?
Absolutely nothing, said the hunter
husband. The lion got himself into this mess,
let him get himself out of it.

Walter Jasper Riggin

died Thursday, May
22, 2014 at his home in
Glasgow.
Walt was Born on
March 23, 1923 in Barr,
Montana, 30 miles north
of Hinsdale, to Guy and
Minnie Riggin. He was
the second of seven children.
At age 10 they moved to Hinsdale for the kids to
attend school. At age 16 Walt went to work for the Black
Ranch for a year. His pay was $1 a day. Te then worked
for the Etcharts until 1943 before joining the Army.
Walt was medically discharged from the Service and
returned back to Hinsdale where he again worked for
the Etcharts.
On June 20th, 1950, he married Barbara Rice.
Together they had three children.
In 1952 Walt went to work for Markles and later
from 1959 to 1969 for the city. In 1969 he and Barb
bought the farm from his father-in-law Dave Rice,
fulfilling his life-long dream. He was one of the founding
fathers of the Whitmeyer Grazing Association. He was
also involved with introducing elk out South, so it was
quite fitting for him to shoot the elk of a lifetime in 1997
at 75 years young!
Walt loved doing many things with his family that
included pitching horseshoes, hunting, taking part
in the yearly branding festivities and bowling until he
was 86 years old. Walt was a member of the Methodist
Church and he enjoyed working the annual Ham
Dinner. He was an Elks member, enjoyed the VFW, and
the Montana Bar, especially on grazing meeting nights.
Walt loved anywhere that he could go dance. The last
16 years of his life was spent with his best friend, June
Cotter.

Walt was preceded in death by his parents, his wife
Barbara, five sisters and his brother.

He is survived by June Cotter, sons David (Thelma),
Bruce (Shelly), and daughter Tammy (Derrick) RigginDeisch. Grandchildren include Christi (Troy) Myers
and their children Breilyn and Keanan; Kari and her
daughter Kamarah, Callie (Neven) Sather, Lisa and
Casey Riggin, Andrew and Michael Deisch, and also
many nieces and nephews.
