Born on March 28, 1923, Eldon Snyder admits he hasn’t mastered computers. For the past 98 years Eldon lived through the transitions of radio, television, airplanes, wars and conflicts, the Civil Rights movement, rock and roll, disgraced presidents, the fall of the Twin Towers and COVID. For the most part, he did it on horseback or on the back of a mule.
Moving from Arizona to Lewistown in 1948, it was the weather that made him want to stay in cooler climates.
