McCahons celebrate 50 years

Well, we made it - 50 years.

We met at Carroll College in Helena sometime in 1968 and married Sept. 12, 1970, in Havre at St. Jude's Catholic Church. Dennis had transferred to University of Montana, Missoula, where he earned his forestry and liberals arts bachelor's degrees. Charlotte earned her Bachelor of Arts from Carroll and Master of Science in biochemistry from UM.

Immediately after school, we had the fun job of manning a forest service fire tower at Big Creek Baldy in far northwest Montana. That season was rainy so we spotted only one fire using the alidade.

Dennis is fourth gene...
