Bill Sniffin column for Tuesday, March 14
Like many Davids fighting their Goliaths, the heroes picked by author Rodger McDaniel in his new book suffered greatly, but caused great change in the Cowboy State. The book “Profiles In Courage: Standing Against The Wyoming Wind,” recently came out and features some old friends of mine. Rodger sent me a copy, and folks like the late Tom Bell deserve some mention.
People often ask me how I manage to stay so organized. Actually no one’s ever asked me that and I’m not sure why. Obviously, I’m on top of things, in control. And I owe it all to my two personal assistants. Thanks to them, my life is a perfect testament to efficiency and organization with just a touch of delusion.
What a life. It has been an amazing 58 years. This is my love letter to my wife Nancy on her 76th birthday, which was this past week. Our story starts with a tale of two young kids in Iowa a long time ago. For me, it was love at first sight.
It’s time to play the Big Game again in Washington. It’s time again for members of Congress to perform one of their most important duties. But instead of passing a federal budget for the coming year, the senators and House members will take a knee and pass what’s called a “Continuing Resolution.”
Miss Jo McFadden was my eighth grade teacher at Rawlins Junior High. She taught my dad, and remembered him. She must have been a hundred years old when I was in her class. I’ve spoken fondly of Miss McFadden before, when listing the best teachers I ever had.
“Dear God, please help us get through this awful mess of a highway. If you get us through safely, so help me, we will never do anything bad again.”
Merry Christmas friends! I hope you had a wonderful 2022. I started the year reading “Daily Reflections for Highly Effective People.” I’d be more effective by now if I hadn’t misplaced it in June. I probably should have been reading “Think and Grow Rich” instead anyway. It was an expensive year for my husband and me. Please send money. Kidding! Sort of.
