The Flying D Ranch was owned by my great uncle, Archie Martin, at one time. He was one of the six Martin brothers that grew up in Harrison, Montana. If you go to Virginia City and visit the museum you will find some of his brother's things such as his cowboy hat, chaps, etc. His name was Charlie Martin. Charlie's wife, Irene, was a taxidermist and all of her items are in the museum as well. My grandfather, John R. (Dick) Martin was one one the brothers. He went to school in Pony and grew up there and lived in Harrison. His wife, Jessie, was the postmaster in Harrison for 35 years. My mom, Joan Martin Johnston, was their daughter. She graduated from Harrison High School in 1949. She was a cheerleader and played basketball.
