MONTANA TREASURE--DOCTOR O.A. KENCK, HIS LIFE AND TIMES

Helen Parsons Neilson

"Howdy, Howdy, what can I do for you?"  With these words, Dr. Kenck greeted his dental patients.

Helen Parsons Neilson brings us another book with more Montana stories--this time of a dentist who started his practice in Helena and continued on to Augusta, Choteau, Gilman and surrounding areas, pulling his "boxcar" office with a team of horses.

Her close experience in the doctor's office as well as a time of residence in his home have given her the personal knowledge of Dr. and Mrs. Kenck's business and home lives and their attitudes of community care.  This pure Montana couple and their sons became a treasure to the communities in which they served with love and patience, no matter the show of reward.
