The Endless Knot film premiere

Last night, ASMSU, the MSU Leadership Institute and other sponsors joined to premiere the film The Endless Knot at the Strand Union Building on the MSU campus. Jennifer Anker-Lowe, author of the book Forget Me Not was on hand to discuss the film and sign her book.

"The lecture and film held at Montana State University last night was very touching & inspirational. Jennifer Lowe-Anker is a good example of how one person is able to deal with tragedy and turn it into a positive goal to help others," says Delores Wallace, MSU Bookstore employee.

Forget Me Knot
is available at the MSU Bookstore both in store and online. A limited number of signed copies are still available in-store only.

Jennifer tentatively plans to return to the MSU Bookstore for another book signing closer to the holidays. For more information about availability, contact the General Books department at the MSU Bookstore by calling (406)994-3815.

Forget Me Not Book Signing

Through letters, expedition notes, and personal stories, Jennifer Lowe-Anker tells the story of her husband, famous mountaineer Alex Lowe in Forget Me Not: A Memoir. In September 1999, Alex Lowe lost his life in an avalanche on Tibet's Shishapangma, leaving behind his wife, 3 kids, and climbing partner Conrad Anker. Coming together in the shared tragedy, Conrad and Jennifer found solace in each other and were married in 2001, then started The Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation together.
