I woke up with an ugly thought, “Today is my birthday.” Seventy-one seems a number without much pizzazz. Seventy or seventy-five or one hundred — now those numbers have class. Milestone numbers. My number seems rather in-betweeny. How old are you? Mumbley mumble. Then Teresa walke...

Not many people think of including the airport in a list of public transportation infrastructure. Fewer still would think of changing their retirement plans to help revitalize that service, but that is exactly what pilots Roger Lincoln and Tony Dolphay did in Havre. It's a typical Saturday morning at Havre City-County Airport and a crowd of pilots from around the area are trickling in to the fixed base operation - the airport equivalent of a gas station, called an FBO. Tony...
