4 Montana river guides use skills and talents to develop state of the art mobile communication systems and classrooms for the Army and many others. Nomad Technologies Inc.

Strange enough that Fort Knox arrived in Kalispell on Friday, stranger still that the soldiers came to meet with four young river guides.

They met in the only likely spot – at the intersection of technology, that universal crossroads where all of society seems to pass these days, en route to the future.

The soldiers were looking for a high-tech mobile classroom to teach the intricate ins and outs of big-tank cannons. The river runners “were just trying to figure out a way to stay in the valley and find a job.”
