Bill Melke had been nominated for the coveted Montana-Dakota Utilities (MDU) Resources Community Spirit Award. They landed in Bismarck in a driving blizzard then had to be evacuated in less than 24 hours due to rising flood waters. An ice dam had caused the Missouri River to back up north of town and there was fear of flooding. When they left, Bill still had no idea he had won the award.
