Social distancing has really put a “crimp” in my column, as folks are supposed to stay put and not socialize. Considering that it only takes one to bring the notorious virus into an entire community, where it can contaminate nearly everyone before it becomes under control (if ever); the order by Governor Gordon has great merit. The local effort to look after our neighbors and still maintain the recommended six feet separation will certainly call for creative measures. The parade of cars last week was a fun idea for “getting out.”

It has been suggested that folks send cards to the Wyoming Veterans who are living in the Veterans Home of Wyoming in Buffalo, and cannot have family or friends come visit. It is a lonely existence. Simply address it to: Wyoming Veteran, Veterans Home of Wyoming, 700 Veterans Lane, Buffalo, WY 82834.

He had grabbed an old, dirty cap to wear on the trip and I replaced it with the clean, new cap he had received on his Honor Flight to Washington, DC.
