Dorothy May Pounds was born Dec. 13, 1923 at Ogallala, Nebraska, the eldest child of Clarence Milton and Lucy Ann (Elder) Pounds. The family, including a baby of less then six months, moved to Circle, Montana in 1928. She was educated in McCone County at Lost Creek and Fountain schools and Circle High School, graduating as salutatorian in1941. She married Kenneth Leslie Post in Grant, Nebraska on August 27, 1943. While Kenneth served in the Navy during WWII, she and their oldest daughter, Kathryn Fay, lived in Glendive. Kenneth came home and worked for Robin’s Implement. Four more children were born before they moved into a Highland Park home in 1956. Four children were born while they lived there. Dorothy was involved in and volunteered for many organizations; Evangelical Church, Cub Scouts, Blue Birds, American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, March of Dimes, a weekly radio book report for the Glendive Public Library , Board of Trustees of the Glendive Public Library, Jefferson Elementary School PTA and the election board in her precinct. In later years she was committed to Al-Anon and volunteered at Boys and Girls Club for a time. She enjoyed walking, reading, crocheting, knitting and needlepoint. The last few years she enjoyed going to her great grandsons Kobe and Kooper Kutzler’s sporting events. After her husband died in 1977, she learned to drive and began part time work at the Glendive Public Library, retiring in 1997. In 1988 she was asked to set up a program for indexing local newspapers, making them easier to access for news and vital statistics. She greatly appreciated the faithful crew of volunteers who did the work of entering citations on thousands of index cards, making the history of Glendive from 1882 accessible to research. Dorothy enjoyed volunteering at the library, continuing with this labor of love until 2014. She also volunteered at her church, happy to serve Her Lord and Savior in whatever capacity possible..
