Dear Scholarship Administrator:
The Tom Easterly Memorial Committee is pleased to distribute this application form to be made available to the young men and women of your facility.
Tom Easterly served as a biologist with the Wyoming Game and Fish Department between 1992 and 2014. He was stationed in the Greybull area and his biologist district encompassed the areas in and around your schools. Tom generously helped the people and community he served, and was especially generous to helping local children. He taught hunter safety courses, did many wildlife educational school programs, helped with the Paintrock Hunter Mentor Program, and the Worland Outdoor Education Day each year. Tom’s passion was introducing young hunters to the sport of bird hunting and sharing the importance of well managed wildlife habitat with them.
In the spirit of Tom’s belief in our future generations of conservationists, the Memorial Committee would like your support in the distribution of this application form. The recipient of the award will receive, without charge, a Lifetime Wyoming game bird/small game license and conservation stamp.
Please make this application available to all interested students between the ages of 14 and 18. The application period is between January 1 and April 1 of each calendar year. Applications must be competed and sent along with a brief free form essay to: Wyoming Game and Fish Regional Office, ATTN: TOM EASTERLY MEMORIAL APPLICATION, 2820 State Hwy 120, Cody, WY 82414.
Thank you for your help and remembrance of Tom and his influence.
Sincerely,
The Tom Easterly Memorial Committee
