Was watching the Today Show this morning on NBC. They were doing a spot on the kid who played Darth Vader in the car commercials. He recently had heart surgery but looked like he was recovering very well. They kept showing pictures of him with his younger brother and they had Montana State shirts on. Are they from Montana or did they just happen to shop at the local goodwill.

. Jk. Thought it was pretty cool.

So is he from Montana and got "famous" or is he from somewhere else and just happens to be a fan? Sorry as this has probably already been talked about.

She is from Whitefish, and her parents still live there. Their names are Jim and Connie Alderson, and they're related to my ex-wife. Jim was an administrator at the hospital there, and exposed a big Medicaid fraud scheme awhile back. He was an MSU alum, and I seem to recall that there was a story about that in the Collegian a few years ago.

Additionally Jim and Connie are listed on the donor roll as having donated $100k to the endzone project.
