Last Flight Out Of Stapleton

This is on the Old Frontier Airlines site. I spent a fair amount of time transiting Stapleton when Mom and Dad lived in Farmington NM and suburban Denver. The First Missus ORPO was from the Four Corners as well. DEN was the connection point.
This is the narrative, of sorts of the last flight out. Continental 34 to London Gatwick, February 27, 1995.

Saint Jude Thaddeus Church - Havre, Montana

Came across this rather unique blog, Photos from The Big Sky. The kid is from Havre. So am I.
As piece of history, I was baptized in this very church in the Autumn of 1954. It was a Jesuit run church for many years and went generic sometime after I went back to Havre when I retired from the Navy.
There are more pics at the link along with other shots of Havre and other places in Montana..
