| Vicki was a dear friend for decades and I valued her friendship since childhood as she was always there for me. Our parents were best friends and we went on holidays together to Denver and youth camps. She was a confidant from childhood. I haven’t seen Vickie for years before her passing but I’ll always remember how much fun she was on double dates, going to Owl Inn and at church. I hope to see you again, Vicki... |

| I first met Janet while we attended Carey Junior High. I used to see her at the roller skating rink just 2 blocks from my house. If my memory serves me right she was a great roller skater!! Of course, I was always holding on to the sides of the rink trying to make it around at least a couple of times. She would gracefully skate by me while I pondered how I would make it across the area of the rink where there was nothing to hold on to. Always had perfect posture, too. |

She grew up in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the daughter of Maxine and Robert Deike, and the sister of Doug and David Deike. She attended the University of Wyoming, graduating in 1972 with a journalism degree.

She later became Wyoming Senator Malcolm Wallop’s press secretary in Washington for two terms. Moving to New Mexico, she became the Santa Fe Correspondent for an NBC affiliate station in Albuquerque. During her time in New Mexico, Karen worked on a documentary regarding the 1980 prison riots. She insisted on spending a night locked up to gather first-hand information. Karen returned to Wyoming to assist her family with their RV Park in Pine Bluffs, Wyoming. Her parents’ poor health became a deciding factor as they moved to Brighton, Colorado. Karen then became Director of Communications for Western Governors Association in Denver, a position she held for several years. She was passionate about the communities she lived in and reported on. She advocated for fairness, preservation and issues that would advance the social and economic fabric of the West. In November of 2016, Karen married August (Gus) Eykholt. They have resided at the Wexford in Loveland during the past three years. Gus’s spirit of adventure afforded Karen many travel opportunities to Italy, New Zealand, the Galapagos and China. Karen is survived by her husband, Gus Eykholt, as well as brothers, David (Kathy) in Loveland and Doug (Karen) in Green Valley, AZ. Three nieces, Carlie Patterson, Ashley DeLuca and Mica Brougham also survive her, as do her two nephews, Derek and Trent Deike. Karen has embraced a close group of college friends who have offered endless support. The family greatly appreciates the many friends and family members who have rallied to assist as Karen faced the many challenges of this ordeal over a period of many years. A special heartfelt thanks to Gus who has loved Karen and stayed by her side throughout. There will be a private family gathering to celebrate her life. Donations can be made in her name to the Alzheimer’s Association.

His parents introduced our class to the traditions of their faith very early on at Alta Vista. Unheard of in those days...to dare to be "different" and be proud. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Feldman and Mark, for your teachings! It had a positive impact on my values. |

Obituary | |
 "It's me and you, Dahlink," Danise said each day to Mike, her best friend and sweetheart. And a darling he has been as he took care of her night and day for the past two years while she battled a terrible head injury from a skiing accident and breast cancer, which took her life on Saturday, Dec. 30, 2006. Mike and Danise, college sweethearts at Utah State University, married Dec. 27, 1984 and eventually moved to Boise where they gathered an incredible group of friends, who have been a strength and support through the struggles and happy times. Danise's motto was "Carpe Diem" and she squeezed every precious drop out of life to the very end. Born on June 15, 1950 to Dan and Marietta Grantham in Murray, Utah, Danise spent her happy childhood with her sister Connee and step-sisters Betty Lou, Gail, Charlene, and Suzanne (deceased) in Cheyenne, Wyoming where she excelled as a lyric soprano, singing the lead in the school musical and solos in the Messiah, etc. At Utah State University, she traveled with a USA tour, sang the lead in the university's musical "Carousel" and many other starring solos. For 25 years, Danise worked in Yellow Pages sales at US West/Quest, retiring just months before her passing. In her spare time, she loved to camp with Mike, travel, garden, swim and buy clothes - lots of clothes and she looked like a model in everything she wore with her beautiful black, naturally curly hair and tall, slim body. Quirky and smart, she livened any setting. An adventurer, she and Mike did everything from kayaking, skiing, river rafting, tennis, roller-blading, traveling to Mexico every year, riding bicycles down volcanoes, collecting pink flamingoes and hosting lots of parties by their backyard pool. Danise loved being a mom to her son, Emmett, and his wife, Ashlee. Danise loved being the grandmother to her two beautiful twin granddaughters, Bailey and Bostyn, which she adored. She also adored her nephews and nieces, Kirt, Jon, Matt, Brent, and Becky and was the world's best aunt. She was loved and inspired everyone who had the chance to meet her; she will be thoroughly missed by thousands. In lieu of flowers the family suggests that you donate to your local cancer society. Special thanks to Mountain State Tumor Institute and St. Luke´s Hospital for all their love and care. A memorial service will be held in Danise's honor at Cloverdale Funeral Home, 1200 North Cloverdale Road, Boise on Friday, Jan. 5, 2007 at 11:30 a.m. All Friends and family are more than welcome to attend. Services are under the direction of Cloverdale Funeral Home.Published in Idaho Statesman on January 3, 2007

| As I recall, Danise was voted the best dressed girl in our class. Wow, she had the whole package, hair, clothes, talent and personality plus! Around 1998 our paths would cross again. I was the Labor Relations Bargaining Director for the Yellow Pages and was meeting with the IBEW Agent and his team. During the meeting I kept thinking this woman looks so familiar and by the end of our session it dawned on me that it was Danise. As we were concluding I asked her if she ever lived in Cheyenne and she said yes. Of course, she didn't remember me since I was not involved in school activities and not part of the group of kids that I perceived as the social elites. She did have a strong voice as an advocate for the union membership that she represented at the Yellow Pages and I was sad to hear of her medical leave and passing. |

| Wow, hearing of another of my Alta Vista classmate's passing is hard. I remember Steve as soft spoken, well mannered and one of the brightest bulbs in my class at Alta Vista. I was glad to read that he had such a fulfilling and successful life and that he was remembered as having a generous spirit most of all. I have to admit that during my shy Alta Vista school days I had a crush on the boy who had dark skin like mine. I never knew his nationality but darn was a a cute kid!! | |

Obituary | |
|
Arthur T. Hanscum, 68, died on February 20, 2020, in St. Petersburg, Florida. Born in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on September 9th, 1951, Arthur was the youngest of four children born to Charles Wright “Pinky” Hanscum and Helena Margaret (Lynch) Hanscum. Art liked to joke with his daughters as each matriculated through the second grade that he was so smart he skipped a grade. He hid his piano books to go play baseball or marbles with the neighborhood kids. Art graduated at the ripe old age of 16 from St Mary’s High School in Cheyenne. He attended the University of Wyoming, receiving his BS in Political Science in 1972. He was a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity. Art went on to attend the University of Wyoming College of Law, receiving his JD in 1975. He became a Special Assistant Attorney General to the state of Wyoming later that year. In 1977, Art joined the law firm of Pence and MacMillian in Laramie, Wyoming, which went on to become Pence, MacMillian and Hanscum for a time. Art was appointed Albany County District Court Judge in 1982, the youngest appointee at the age of 31. He was forced into early retirement in 1996 by symptoms associated with the onset of Parkinson’s Disease – a progressive neurological disease. About his disease and in demonstrating his optimism he often quipped, “You die with Parkinson’s, not of Parkinson’s.” Art was a bit of a Renaissance Man: His quick wit and sharp intellect allowed him to dabble in various ventures such as acting in community theatre, playing the role of Lord Montague in “Romeo and Juliet,” as well as a stunningly accurate portrayal of the ghost of Jacob Marley in Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol.” He supported the theater at the University of Wyoming as well. His jelly tacos and insatiable sweet tooth go unrivaled as does his Johnny Cash karaoke renditions. He wrote his own rules, paved his own way and never took “no” for an answer. Art passed these traits to his two daughters, Kedrin Irene (Hanscum) Case and Rhaetia Marie Hanscum. He is the proud grandfather to five wonderful grandchildren who still had yet to beat him at chess. Art’s sense of humor, sharp intellect, spectacularly scary ghost stories will be greatly missed and remembered fondly by his daughters, nieces and nephews. Art requested donations be given to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, your local hospice or to any political candidate who serves to inspire, lift-up and bridge the great political divide in this country. At Art’s request, a private service will be held.

I wondered what happened to him as I had not seen him at the reunions, unfortunately, I now know I can never laugh with him again.

Robert Hall McDaniel, 56, passed away Dec. 2 in San Francisco where he had lived for more than 15 years. He died following a heart attack.
Bob was born Feb. 23, 1950, in Leadville, Colo. He grew up in Cheyenne, attending school here and working at Little America from the first day it opened in 1964. Bob moved to Flagstaff, Ariz., as a manager of the Little America Resort in that community. Later he became general manager of the Little America Westgate Hotel in San Diego. He fell in love with California, choosing to live his life there and returning to Cheyenne for many special occasions. In recent years, he owned and operated a restaurant in Guerneville, Calif., in the Russian River area in the California redwoods. Bob leaves us and this Earth far too early. He leaves behind many friends and family whose lives were made better by knowing him and being loved by him, but he joins others who went before him. He is survived by his partner of 22 years, Lee Julien; his dear companion, Steve Sartain; daughters, Nicole and Shannon, who live in Georgia; four brothers, Rodger and Ken McDaniel of Cheyenne, Ron McDaniel of St. John's, Ariz., and Jim Tucker of Pine Bluffs; and his step-mother, Arla Mae Plambeck of Cheyenne. He is also survived by his partner's mother, Loretta Julien of Sonoma County, Calif.; his beloved brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Lois Julien and Tom Julien, both from the San Francisco area; as well as many grandchildren; nephews; and nieces. Bob leaves behind a community of friends in San Francisco and many other wonderful friends from his days with Little America who continued over the years to brighten his life with their friendship. His parents, Johnson Hall McDaniel and Betty Lou Hinman; and a brother, Brian McDaniel, preceded Bob in death. Bob was a wonderful partner, brother, son, father and friend who honestly and openly lived his life believing "we can all learn to love ourselves and others by forgiving rather than judging." He lived this philosophy and in recent years served others as a volunteer for the Center for Attitudinal Healing, an organization helping the terminally ill face their own deaths with dignity and hope. Friends may contribute to the center in Bob's memory. You can learn about their work at www.attitudinalhealing.org. Cremation has taken place in San Francisco. Bob is deeply missed by folks who will try to honor his memory by living out his hope and love for the world around us.

He is survived by his wife Connie, his kids Arron (Caitlin) Frerichs, Melanie (Mark) Brown, Monica (Richie) Gonzalez, Corey Johnston, his sister Sharon (Terry) Wilson, his brother Leroy (Linda) Patterson, grandchildren Roman (Meghann) Meeks, Noah and Abby Brown, Kozette Gonzalez, his uncle Jim Patterson, numerous nieces and nephews, and a large circle of wonderful friends. Those awaiting his arrival in Heaven include both his parents, his grandparents and a sister, Dixie Jones. After all, when a man comes to die, all that he will have left, is what he has given away. Buck was a very giving, wonderful, fun loving man who touched many lives, and blessed those who were closest to him. He will be missed by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers please send donations to Lake Guernsey VFW Post 4471 in Guernsey, WY, or Hands for Hope Hospice in Idaho Falls, ID; both were very dear to Buck.

Obituary | |

Tom Richardson died in his home with his wife caring for him the morning of April 19, 2013 at age 63. He graduated from the University of Wyoming in 1972 with a Business Administration degree. Three years later on March 15th 1975 he married Justina Munkres, and for the next 38 years he was husband, father, and golfer all the while working as a landman for Gulf Oil, Tyrex Oil, as an independent, and finally Anadarko Petroleum. Tom was a steady man like his great-grandfather Edward Richardson, a physician: outside of being an outstanding husband and father Tom received Planning Commissioner of the Year in 2011. However, Tom was also a playful man like his grandfather, Lester Richardson who liked to draw cartoons: he could be seen most any spring or summer evening on the golf course and one of his proudest moments was his hole-in-one at a tournament in 2012. Tom is survived by his wife, Justina Richardson, his sister, Freddie Foy, his step-son Randy Wesnitzer, and his grand-children Alyssa and Garret.

| I knew Susan since her family used to bowl at our family's bowling alley, Spot Bowl. What a wonderful family! Susan and I had many classes together and had a great visit during one of the reunions. I used to see her when she worked at Ma Bell since that was my first gig after graduating from UW. She always was so positive and happy to see you even when she was ill. Another courageous East woman!! Miss you, Susan. |
