With the pandemic behind us and Wyoming sites and sights soon opening, it is time for me to start compiling what I call my “Wyoming Bucket List.”
This list is based on an expression from the movie The Bucket List, which featured Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, where two guys with terminal...
Some people wear many hats.
Others wear none.
Around and about the busy community of Newcastle (and occasionally in neighboring communities), Walter Sprague may most often be seen with none.
