Loy Chvilicek to portray fort chaplain's spouse

This year's celebrity luncheon series at the Heritage Center kicks off with a local woman's portrayal of a local historical figure.

Loy Chvilicek, who recently moved from Havre to Helena, will return to give a performance as E.S. Dodd, wife of the Rev. S.G. Dodd, the first chaplain of Fort Assinniboine.
