I asked a friend of mine if he had ever known a man named Bat O’Callahan who lived in Trout Creek years ago and was married to my good friend Jessie O’Callahan.

Gary "Skeeter" Ebbing

Gary “Skeeter” Ebbing was born on December 11, 1955 in Peoria, IL to Wayne and Mary Ebbing. He died at his home in Hot Springs, MT on January 10, 2014. At age 13 he left home on an adventure to California. At 15 he joined the Marines with an honorable discharge. He re-enlisted at 17 and served in the Vietnam War. He hitchhiked all over the country, working odd jobs along the way to survive. Skeeter spent a lot of time working at carnivals. He had a lot of funny stories to tell. He saw a lot of things along the course of his adventures. Eventually he made his way to Montana where he found the O’Bennick family. Skeeter would stay with them during the summer then disappear in the fall to wherever his next adventure would take him. He finally did settle down and call Hot Springs home. He loved the outdoors, fishing, camping in his teepee, kayaking, shooting guns, drinking beer and hanging out with his friends were his favorite pastimes.
