Today, we continue our conversation with Wilmot Collins. 

In part one, we learned about the current Helena Mayor’s death-defying journey from his native Liberia on the west African coast to Montana.

In this episode, he talks about adjusting to life in the Treasure State, his entry into the political arena, his service in the National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve, U.S. Naval Reserve and more.
