Though the C-130 Hercules tactical aircraft that landed at the Havre City-County Airport Wednesday only stayed on the runway about 10 minutes before the flight crew took off again to continue the training run, that historic moment was almost four years in the making.

“I’m jealous,” my husband wrote as a comment to an article link he sent me. “What a cool way to lose an arm.” How many times does a person get to say that in a lifetime? A lot for some of us, and for sure John’s persona story about losing an arm is epic. An 18-year-old gets into a motorcycle crash just as a paramedic instructor is driving by. What are the odds? The surgeon on call at the hometown hospital that day had honed his trauma surgery skill as a Navy hospital surgeon at the front lines of the Vietnam War. Does it get...
Sometimes, you just need to talk to someone who understands your condition. For instance, I have specific criteria to meet before protocols trigger a call to speak with a medical person. My doctor knows through experience I don’t call to see her for any old problem because she practiced medical due diligence, and asked one day why I waited so long before coming in.
