Condolences are sent to the family of Harvey Warren, who has recently passed away. Harvey and I were first cousins, our mothers being sisters, Nova Warren and Shirley James. Harvey was born the day after Christmas in 1941. His parents were Darroll Warren and Nova (Schubert) Warren. His brothers were Don Warren, Dennis Warren and Jack Warren, preceding him in death. Harvey was a caring family man and excellent manager of Floyd Warren Farms and his own Harvey Warren Farms. He married Charlene (Pattyn) Edgar along with her children, Renae and Wayne Edgar. Harvey and Charlene’s wonderful daughter, Michelle, made their family complete. He was Papa Harvey to his grandchildren.

I don’t know how many of you know this, but the place we all live used to be known as the “wild west”. There have been shows with that title and it is referred to that way quite often when talking about the history of the area. More than a century ago there was actually a travelling show called “Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show”. Now the reason I talk about this is that the Big Horn County Library is now home to a beautiful original painting of the cast for that show done by well known artist Kathy Spalding who sadly passed away in 2014.

This week I will share some history of the Senior Center that is probably long forgotten.

I’ve recently gotten back to the office since my truck has been repaired. It was a frustrating couple of weeks, working from home and feeling somewhat helpless to what was happening in places out of sight.
