The reason we came to Laramie, Wyoming was to visit with our high school classmate, Flew Pringle. We have been trying to do this for a few summers, but circumstances had prevented it.
This woman never stops. Flew is involved in several things with the senior citizens, a theatrical group, and the Moose Club. She kept us very busy. We even visited some of her family members while we were in Cheyenne.
Everyday there were many things to do, so that by the end of the day, we were ready for our bed. I’m just going to list them and then post some pictures. We started off with a quick tour of Laramie in the rain and slushy hail. The next day it was a jam session at the Senior Center. Flew had a friend sing “My Best Friend” for John and I. She said the song made her think of us.
There was dancing at the Moose Club and Bingo the next night. We had a private tour of the Ivanson Mansion Laramie Plains Museum which was absolutely fascinating. Shopped at the Prairie Golden Bakery. Went to the Territorial Prison where Butch Cassidy was incarcerated. ( Bill Wilson, FLEW’s husband is a brick mason and there is a picture of him working on the prison.) Made a couple of trips over the Snowy Range that had just opened up.
In front of Flew Wilson’s house are two beautiful Flowering Almonds. I took some cuttings. I hope they root.
We had a great time and met a lot of friendly people.

The views we saw on the Snowy Range were breathtaking.
We had never thought about snowshoes for horses before.
They finally caught up with John Vassar.
