My grandmother used used to work for the Burlington Northern Railroad as a secretary up until around 2000. She knew Jim from for a few years in the Nineties because at the time he was working for the railroad as well. At the time of my meeting with him, my grandmother was living in Greybull. She now lives in Ralston.

When I met him, Jim was really nice but quiet. He wasn't all that talkative about his time in the pros playing for Boston.
 
Speaking of which, watching chris pro and the jags on monday night football right now. #42 doing his thing on special teams.

David Edeen was from Cheyenne and played in the NFL. I can't remember for whom though. Either the Chiefs or for the 49ers.

John Burrough: Pinedale, UW, Falcons

Lee Vaughn: Cheyenne East, UW, Drafted by Dallas but blew a knee in training camp.

I still think we should claim our own LDS kids that went to BYU. (CSU is another story).

Nope, he just wanted wy kids, uw player, and nfl guys. If we add guys that didn't go to uw the list is much bigger.
