Home Page updated: March 7, 2009 Welcome to WyomingWoman.net! I
took the above picture of cattails as I was walking my neighbors' dog along
Swaim Road here in Sheridan, Wyoming. This is the time of year when Wyoming residents
start looking at scenes like this and imagining the hayfields once again turning green
with the coming of spring.
Speaking of President Obama, I attended a street corner celebration here in Sheridan on Inauguration Day. Of course, I had my camera with me. For you bodybuilding nostalgia fans, click on the BODYBUILDING
button (above) to see the latest articles I have added to the BODYBUILDING
section, An Exclusive, Explosive Interview with ED GIULIANI (1981) and JAKE STEINFELD: Movie-Making’ Muscleman (1981). Most Wyoming
Woman readers will recognize Jake Steinfeld as the man who went on to star in two
television shows, the fitness program Body By Jake and the Family
Channel’s sitcom Big Brother Jake.
He also co-founded the Major League Lacrosse professional lacrosse
league. My article was Jake's first interview for a national magazine. Ed Giuliani has been an integral part of the bodybuilding scene for "forever" and granted an unusually candid interview in an era when competitive bodybuilders were often more cautious with their opinions. Also, now that I am more adept at scanning and uploading images, I added the pictures that accompanied my articles about Richard Baldwin (1978) and Rod Koontz (1978).
I just received an e-mail from Ric Drasin telling me about an interesting and informative article that appears in both the print and on-line editions of the Daily News. Ric was one of the wrestlers interviewed for the front-page article ’The Wrestler’ hits home for San Fernando Valley grapplers. For you Minnesota history buffs, click on the MINNESOTA button (above) to read The Miles of Yesterday: The Life Story of a Minnesota Woman, written by Olive Irene Hills Bliss in 1935. My mother worked for Mrs. Bliss in Mrs. Bliss' later years. (I do not know if Mrs. Bliss is an ancestor of David Scott Bliss, the developer mentioned in the ENVIRONMENT section of the Wyoming Woman Website.) Dr. Lawrence Moe is researching the life of Mrs. Bliss' son, Paul, who was a newspaper journalist, poet, and actor. If you have any information at all about the life of Paul Southworth Bliss, please write to: Professor Lawrence Moe On March 3, I headed back to my
part-time seasonal job as a “fee collector” (read that as
“receptionist”) at Trail End State Historic Site (Kendrick
Mansion) here in Sheridan. Also keeping me busy are the
two classes I attend at Sheridan College, Senior Weight Training
(weight training and stretching for senior citizens) and Collegiate Chorale.
