In Memoriam: Mabel E. Brown
From Mike Shay:
Mabel Brown was one of the first people I met when I came to Cheyenne in 1991. She then was a young lass of 77. She was everywhere -- the legislature, book signings, history events all around the state, Governor's Arts Awards dinner, and at the Wyoming Arts Council. Mabel researched and wrote "First Ladies of Wyoming: 1869-1990," a large format book published by the Wyoming Commission for Women (Wyoming Council on Women's Issues) in cooperation with the Wyoming Arts Council. We sold the book out of the WAC offices until we ran out of copies several years ago. Mabel would come by occasionally to see how we were doing. We eventually sold out of the book and were waiting for an updated version.
We'll have to wait awhile longer. Mabel Brown died Oct. 23. She was 94. R.I.P. Mabel, and we'll keep on doing our best to support the arts and humanities here in Wyoming.
This obituary was in this morning's Wyoming Tribune-Eagle:

New Deal-inspired photos to tour Wyoming
From a Wyoming State Parks and Cultural Resources press release:
A traveling exhibit featuring the photos of New Deal inspired Wyoming projects will be on display at venues throughout the state beginning next month.
The exhibit, celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the New Deal, features 14 large-format contemporary black-and-white photographs taken by Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources photographer Richard Collier. Wyoming Civilian Conservation Corps and Works Program Administration sites are depicted in the Collier photographs.
The New Deal, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s massive Depression-era program to put Americans back to work, resulted in an alphabet soup of federal programs. Millions of people took part in these programs resulting in a myriad of projects. Americans planted trees, created parks and zoos, wrote plays, recorded histories, created paintings and photographs, and built highways, bridges, dams, courthouses, schools and stadiums.
Among the structures chronicled in the photographs are the Museum and Castle at Guernsey State Park, a band shell in Lingle, a swimming pool in Veteran and the Wardwell Hanger in Bar Nunn.
The exhibit is currently scheduled to be on display at the following locations:
