Willard Fraser, who was known for his outspoken personality and charisma, was the progressive and often controversial four-term mayor of Billings during the turbulent 1960s.
Fraser is a case study in tenacity and hard work. He lost nearly a dozen elections in his lifetime, but persisted, eventually winning the top city administrator spot in a divided race.

Happy Birthday wishes went out Thursday to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County, which are celebrating 50 years serving kids in Billings.
