Water-gate, Rather-gate, and, now, Barber-gate?

Currently famous for the political TV comericals on behalf of Democratic senatorial conadidate, Jon Tester, Bill Graves of the Riverview Barber Shop (11 Division Road in Great Falls, 406/452-6422) will be even more famous when the New York Times prints their interview with him.

You see, Bill is my barber, too, and when I was at the Riverview Barber Shop this AM for a haircut (his granddaughter Megan has the honors, this time), Bill mentioned that yesterday ( Thursday, July 6) he was interviewed by a reporter from the New York Times.

Bill’s preious claim to fame was that his great-grandfather, “Whiskey” Bill Graves, was the last man hung by the vigilantes immediately before Montana became a territory.
