My wife, Connie Porteous Cole ’69, is an environmental consultant with a Dutch-owned, international engineering firm, Arcadis, which specializes in mining reclamation all over the West. Connie recently served her second two-year term as President of the Prickly Pear Land Trust. The trust acquires conservation easements on land in the Helena, Mont., area that has unique environmental features or that is critical for providing access to public land, parks or trails.

I am the administrator of the Community Development Division at the Montana Department of Commerce and recently completed six years of service on the Planning Board for Helena and Lewis & Clark County, three years as Chair.
