Good morning, Laramie.

Walter Doyle, a Laramie native born in 1889, rose to become a U.S. Navy submarine commander and built a lasting friendship with Admiral Nimitz while leading missions during two world wars.

He left Wyoming in 1909, served abroad throughout his career, and returned to Laramie in 1947—his legacy remains a valued part of local history.

Austin Hawkins turned to writing when his wife Samantha had a life-threatening brain hemorrhage three years ago while they lived in an RV working at Grand Teton National Park.

He later moved to Lander and published his novel 'Going Nowhere Slow' this year through Amaranth Publishing—he is now working on another book set in Lander as Samantha recovers and they raise their 20-month-old son.

In the 1890s, cowboy friends Butch Cassidy, Jacob Snyder, and Al Hainer clashed with ranch owner Jay Torrey when theft charges were brought against them—resulting in convictions and jail time.

After serving his sentence, Snyder became a successful sheepman before a former business partner fatally shot him in a jealous rage.

On Saturday, a 4-acre wildfire ignited near Ryan Park along Highway 130 as multiple ground and aerial crews launched an aggressive attack.

Officials said the highway remains closed and expect it to reopen soon — resources stayed overnight and work continued on Sunday.

Maya is a tiny border collie born under a sheep wagon at Warren Livestock Co. ranch who does not herd sheep and now lives with Susan Samuelson—she stays close to home and remains scared of the barn cat Bob.
