Letterman In The News

June 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Two items in the news regarding part-time Montana resident David Letterman: first, the man who was sent to prison for concocting a scheme to kidnap Letterman’s baby son and bilking Dave out of cash escaped from jail a few days ago, and is still on the loose. Second, the free Willie Nelson concert in Choteau is proceeding as scheduled, with winners being selected via postcards, although some radio stations will be giving away tickets soon, so you might still be able to see Willie on July 3rd. The concert was arranged and funded by an anonymous donor, although many speculate that it is none other than Letterman himself.
