In addition to being the president of A-1 Ambulance in Butte, Mike McGree was the class clown of Butte Central’s Class of 1970. He also holds the self-proclaimed title for the biggest head in town. He says he beat out Pat Ryan and Chunky Thatcher for that honor.

Mike isn’t the best athlete of large McGree family. But he is probably the funniest. One morning he joined Paul Panisko and me on KBOW for a little while. He came in with a list of things his wife, Trish, said he was NOT supposed to talk about. 

Mike read the list on the radio, elaborating on each item. It was, as they say, radio gold. It was classic Mike McGree.

Listen in as Mike talks about his father Tucker and his good pal Harp Cote. Listen as he talks about being a bench warmer on BC’s 1969 state championship football team and how he dirtied up his uniform so the girls thought he played.

Listen as Mike talks about his not-so-productive six years as a college student, his many years as a first responder and recently receiving the Copper Heart Award from Butte-Silver Bow for saving a life.

This is a conversation you do not want to miss.
