His grandfather was a Montana Senator, and a wing of the university in Havre is named after him. He was a major supporter of the local Chinook Historical Society (Blaine County Historical Society), and a major contributor and concept man for the Chinook Wildlife Museum on Main Street today. He was a regular at university library book sales, often buying the “whole thing.” He’d trade for things he wanted, trade for stuff he didn’t want, but the museum or society really wanted it badly, so off it went. Stuart scoured the backroads of northern Montana looking for documents, archives, company files, libraries, correspondence – most anything historical except bottles and tokens. Too much cow poop on the boots in the office that also came home into the house, and that was it for the ranch. After his wife Shirley spotted one of the kids swinging in the air, hanging onto the reins for dear life, that was it for the horses. If the kids wanted a horse, there was one.
Aside from his regular job as a lawyer in a firm of two with his old school buddy, he did damn near everything else.
Stuart (Scotty to his immediate family and circle of Montana friends) was an inveterate collector and dealer. **Stuart “Scotty” MacKenzie Montana Collection** “Volvo’s ambition is nothing less but to bring the future of infrastructure and transport solutions to our customers in a commercially viable way,” Jaeger said, “and this innovative commercial project represents the next phase of this journey.Welcome to our Autumn Splendor Auction, the first of our fabulous end-of-the-year sales! This sale features many important collections: As part of the initiative, Holcim is testing automation technologies, robotics and artificial intelligence throughout the entire production process in order to develop innovative solutions for a safer, more efficient and more sustainable cement production. The testing and likely deployment of electric haulers in its quarry is part of Holcim’s digitization initiative “Plants of Tomorrow”. “Our participation in this project represents another step towards fulfilling our sustainability objectives: we seek solutions that are both innovative and environmentally responsible and we are constantly investing in measures to reduce our ecological footprint in order to help build a sustainable future.” “We are delighted to partner with Volvo on this project,” said Simon Kronenberg, CEO of Holcim Switzerland and Italy. “Through a strong partnership with Holcim Switzerland this will happen in a real environment driven by two committed companies dedicated to jointly presenting the future.” “This project show-cases a sustainable transport solution that is commercially viable and combines the technology shifts of connectivity, automation and electrification,” said Nils Jaeger, president of Volvo Autonomous Solutions. The battery-electric haulers currently being tested mark a significant step in the industry, Volvo said as not only are they quieter and more sustainable than conventional haulers, they are also safer, the world’s first commercially available CE-certified electric, autonomous transport solution for the quarry and cement industries. Holcim’s Gabenchopf quarry in Siggenthal has been chosen as the site for the project. Volvo Autonomous Solutions and Holcim Switzerland, a supplier of concrete and aggregate products, have entered a collaboration to jointly test and further develop the use of autonomous electric haulers in a limestone quarry.
