Ostrom has been a fixture in the Flathead Valley since joining the announcing staff at KOFI-AM in 1956. Ostrom, a writer, broadcaster, and photographer, is known as the “Voice of the Flathead Valley.” For the past fifty years he served as co-owner, general manager, and news director of KOFI radio. In 1974 he bought the Kalispell Weekly News and turned it into the largest circulation weekly newspaper in Montana. His “Trailwatcher” column in the Hungry Horse News has won state and national awards and he has been inducted into the Montana Broadcasters Association Hall of Fame. Ostrom helped write the Wilderness Bill with Senator Lee Metcalf in 1962. He is a distinguished alumni of the University of Montana.

Glenn George Ostrom was born in Missoula, Montana on July 24, 1928 and grew up in Sanders County during the heart of the Depression. He started a newspaper in the 6th grade, and lied about his age to get a job fighting fires at the age of 15. George left Flathead County High School at the age of 17 to join the Army and served in the Signal Corps in Germany during the Occupation.

George trained with the Missoula Smoke Jumpers in 1950, eventually rising to position of squad leader and trainer. He jumped fire five years before a broken leg ended his jumping career. His passion for hiking never subsided and he’s hiked 25,000 miles in and around Glacier National Park and has written 3 books about his beloved mountains.

George married Iris Ann Wilhelm in Kalispell on April 12, 1958 and they raised four children, Shannon, Heidi, Wendy and Clark. George never really “retired.” He can still be heard occasionally on the KGEZ radio and recently completed work on a children’s book which was released on his 90th birthday.
