Our own Rob Bankston receives Governor’s award

This is for real, and so is Rob Bankston. Rob is an active volunteer and one of those Livingston figures whose name brings a smile. Quick with a joke, Rob is even quicker with a helping hand. He is the Market Master at the weekly summer Farmer’s Market, a volunteer at the Yellowstone Gateway Museum, and donates his time to these other events and organizations: Fish Walk, Corporation for the Northern Rockies, and the March of Dimes. He is also a Big Brother in the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Park County program. He tries to be a “big bother,” too with his ready jokes and poker-faced teasing, but we love him anyway. This past year, Rob also made an impressive stage debut in “More Fun Than Bowling” at the Blue Slipper, and was in the cast of the Playhouse 5’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof” at the Emerson Cultural Center in Bozeman.
Rob will be honored by Governor Brian Schweitzer with a presentation of the 2007 Governor’s Award for Civic Engagement at a banquet on September 25 in Billings. I am betting that he will tell the Governor a joke before that evening is out.
