Great letter. Would be great to be able to keep up with all of the teams and contestants before the state tournament. Makes it more enjoyable to watch when they hit the Casper Events Center for the big show.
With a great deal of sadness I have to say that in my opinion one of the biggest stories of the year just happened here in Casper with the passing of a man who was one of the most dedicated persons to the development of sports and youth in Wyoming, Harry Geldien.
Harry's tireless work and contributions are way to enormous to list here but there were two very good articles last week in the Casper Star Tribune about Harry and his life from the time he came to Wyoming to play football at the University until his passing. It would be well worth the time and effort for your readers to obtain these articles and see what this great man did over his career.
I'm proud to say that Harry (Coach) was my high school football coach, teacher, and more than than anything a friend and I truly enjoyed working with and for him over the many years of our friendship.
My thoughts and prayers are with his wife Mary and his family. He will be greatly missed.
Based upon what Brant says about the kids and community not buying into his ways and ideas I can fully understand his decision. Also it is pretty apparent that the community as a whole doesn't much care about what is going on based upon the recent vote for the completion of the nicest "PRACTICE FIELD" in the state of Wyoming. Damn shame that there is so much wasted money on projects that accompolish nothing and then to have something the whole town can be proud of and for the students of the school system to use be ignored.
"Good Luck" to Brant in his future from someone who considers him to be a good coach, fine man and friend.
