 Our Rotarian of the Week grew up in Cherry Hills, Colorado, outside of Denver. He graduated from the Colorado Academy, home of the Mustangs, with forty in his class. His first job was working as a caddy at the Cherry Hills Country Club for $9 a round and tip. He quickly learned to collect his fee before his golfer made it to the clubhouse. After high school, he attended Yale University, earning a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and the University of Utah medical school. After graduation from medical school, he completed an Internal Medicine Residency at Washington University in St. Louis. He then served as a medical officer on the USS New Orleans in the Pacific. Upon completion of his Naval service, he did a fellowship in pulmonary disease at Barnes Jewish Hospital. Subsequently, he joined Cheyenne’s Internal Medicine Group where he practiced for 34 years as a pulmonologist and board-certified internal medicine physician. Over those years, Dr. Harmon “Bud” Davis served as chair of every medical committee at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and two terms as the Chief of Staff. While he retired from active practice in 2013, he currently serves as the Medical Director of CRMC Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, serves on the Medical Commission for the Division of Workforce Services and as a Medical Consultant for Wyoming Disability Determination Services. Bud and Claire just recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary and have two kids and two grandkids. He was sponsored into the Cheyenne Rotary Club by Rick Davis and has been a member for 25 years. He enjoys Rotary for the fellowship. His most memorable Rotary moment was serving on the club’s 4-Way Test Scholarship Committee and interviewing local high school students. In addition to serving on and chairing the 4 Way Test Scholarship Committee, he wrote questions for the Cranium Cup, and was the Club’s medical consultant for Covid protocols and procedures. He and Claire also hosted two Rotary exchange students. Other than family, he is most proud of the creation of the Davis First Generation Scholars program, which helps first generation college students find the path to college success at LCCC. This year, eleven first generation students completed the program, with a goal of twenty-five next year. Bud’s favorite meal is New York strip steak medium rare and twice baked potatoes. |
