It will take several young people to match the commitment — and the energy — that Norm put into his community work over the 77 years he lived in Havre. Norm offered the same kind of commitment to his employer and its cus...

All of those parks were created by the LWCF. Since Americans first set eyes on the natural beauty of our country, it has been one of our shared values that those lands must be...
