Letters to the Editor; Revamp P Hill

I grew up in a home at the base of the P Hill in the 1950’s/60’s.  My memories of this landmark letter “P” are etched in my mind.  I can remember seeing the “P” every day of my 12 years of school in Plains and driving east to Plains in those days one would see was that famous “P”, stark against a brown or green hillside.  Sadly, I looked upon the “P” hill as I came into Plains several months ago from my home in Missoula, and was shocked at the extremely pathetic “P”.  What a disgrace for the town of Plains and the high school!  The organizing committee for the 50th anniversary (Class of 1964) also commented on this very poor representation of our town/school and felt something needed to be done.
