Just saw the news of the passing of Mick Holien. My condolences to his loved ones. Mick was a definite good ones in many roles in the news media, especially as a crime reporter and, of course, calling play-by-play on Griz games.

Rest In Peace, Mick Holien. You will be missed. First met him when he traveled with the Griz Caravan of Coaches on the GAA (now GSA) Spring Tour. After moving from Cut Bank to Missoula in 1998, I lived with Mick for four months until my family got here. Heard some great stories!
