The Cowley Progress

Mr. Crapo’s musical recital Monday night was one of the crowning events of the season. There were also refreshments and dancing. Finally the affair was turned into a testimonial to Mr. Crapo, who after two years is about to leave us for more lucrative fields. … Many expressed genuine regret at this determination to leave us when he has come to mean so much to this community in the musical and social life of this place. Mr. Crapo has endeared himself to our people as no other man in many years. Cowley cannot afford to let him go, for he has become well nigh indispensable to the life of this community. No other man can fill his place.

For Jack Carpenter there’s a fine line between wilderness medicine and the medicine he sometimes is called upon to practice in the emergency room at North Big Horn Hospital. Carpenter recently added to his medical skills through a fellowship program with the Academy of Wilderness Medicine. The Wilderness Medical Society (WMS) began an educational program specializing in wilderness medicine in 2005. To become a fellow in the program, Carpenter earned more than 100 specialized educational credits, including advanced wilderness life-saving techniques. Only about a half dozen medical providers in the state of Wyoming have attained the WMS fellowship.
