2009-present—Cheyenne Post 6 Baseball Board (17 years, VP 2 years, President 15 years)
Spring 2020 (COVID) spent over 100 hours communicating with the Governor, State Health Director and County Health Director to avoid cancelation of the Legion baseball season—after Legion National canceled sponsorship nationally for the 2020 season. We worked out social distancing and sterilization of surfaces and indeed played a full slate of games and did have a state tournament. Ron Laird, Commissioner of the Wyoming High School Activities Association, reached out and used our model to execute a successful high-school football season along with other Fall sports at the high school level. We were told we were the first baseball game played in the nation that late Spring. We did NOT want our seniors to miss this critical 2020 season.
