Missoulians share life-changing moments for traveling video crew

For Greg Price, it happened like a jolt from the bowels of the Earth: A sudden insight while gardening about the cycle of life and death, which helped him come to peace with his father’s passing.

For Jack and Christy Wich, it was more like a sprinkling of ingredients over the course of years, which eventually formed the recipe for their Black Cat Bakery.

For Crissy Manhan, it happened after the birth of one of her children several years ago. But when she showed up in the parking lot of A Carousel for Missoula to tell the tale of how she conceived Pass It On Missoula, a children’s clothing exchange shop, she needed to rush the story a bit, as she was in labor with her next child.

"Aha moments," they all called them. On Wednesday, inside a shiny, 34-foot aluminum Airstream trailer-turned-video studio, local residents shared those flashes of insight that have made them who they are.

…

Winchell’s aha moment was one of about 50 that Henry and her team aim to document during their visit to Missoula. In the next two or three weeks, all of those taping sessions will be edited and uploaded to Mutual of Omaha’s website, at http://www.mutualofomaha.com/aha.
