GREAT FALLS For a fourth straight year, the American Red Cross is holding a state wide #TroyStrong blood drive, which will take place in seven cities across the month of June.
The event is named for Troy Ross, a Great Falls six-year-old and the son of Great Falls Central football coach Wes Ross, whose life was saved by multiple blood transfusions after he was diagnosed with a rare immune disease in 2017.
The first drive is scheduled for June 2 in Havre, and hosted by the MSU-Northern football team. It will be held at the Fifth Avenue Christian Church from noon to 5 p.m.

Obituary - Charles Emmett Manuel
Charles Manuel
Charles Emmett Manuel passed away in his home surrounded by loved ones Thursday, December 10, 2020. He was 87 years old. His life began in a similar way at his family s home where he was born November 16, 1933. Because home births were common in those days, his official birthdate wasn t recorded until the next day, November 17th. It is for this reason that Charles would always strongly suggest that he was entitled to celebrate two birthdays each year. Born as the eighth child out of 11, Charles grew up on the family homestead South of Havre, which eventually became the launching pad for his life s work and home base for his decades of being a devoted husband to his wife and father to his own five children. In a world that could scarcely be imagined by most of us today, his years growing up were spent being taught by his mother how to make a large family survive at times on nothing more than a milk cow and a garden.
