From the Three Forks, Montana Community Library

While spending the 2025-2026 winter in beautiful SW Montana helping a friend recover from surgery (think caring for 5 field trial spaniels, 3 cats, and 50 or so homing pigeons), my Springer Spaniel, Keeper, and I stayed pretty busy. Group dog training every Saturday, starting a new book (tentatively titled “The JoJo Years”), and getting some well-deserved rest.

I don’t know how many times I drove by the Community Library before the obvious idea hit me—why not offer an evening program about my book and White House experiences? It was a small group, but very engaged! I’m so glad I took the time. Here’s what the library’s director shared with me a few weeks later…

“It was truly an honor to host Bill Brockett at the Three Forks [Montana] Community Library. We are grateful for the opportunity to host such a talented and inspiring author. His book showcases his remarkable life experiences and firsthand accounts of working in the White House, offering a unique and unforgettable perspective on history.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mr. Brockett’s warmth, humility, and engaging presentation made the evening truly memorable. What stood out most was not only his incredible story, but how he shared it with sincerity, humor, and genuine connection. His reflections, ranging from historical insights to personal anecdotes, including his time working alongside President Ford and his Golden Retriever, Liberty, were fascinating, heartfelt, and engaging. It’s not every day we get to hear such powerful, firsthand stories, and we are so grateful he shared them with us. Thank you, Bill, for an exceptional presentation!

Attend the talk, watch the YouTube interview [https://follow-the-yellow-line.com/the-interview], and read (buy) the book!”
