Benefit planned for Esterholt

Buzz Esterholt, long-time area resident and county employee for almost 10 years, suffered a debilitating stroke in the spring of 2002. The stroke left him with partial paralysis to his right side, rendering him unable to continue working full time as a county oil and gas properties tax assessor (we should remember his tax assessment generated revenue for county residents!) and unable to enjoy the abundance of outdoor activities available in the county.

Buzz has undergone months of physical therapy both at home and in Salt Lake City. As a result of his hard work, he has been blessed, having regained some of his mobility and strength. Now he needs a little help from folks like us to make the next big step back to a more productive life.

He has regained sufficient skills and muscle control that, with the aid of a Ranger ATV, he could resume many activities and do what he does best - help other people.

A free-will donation benefit concert has been planned for Thursday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m. in the Pinedale Auditorium. Such entertainers as Andy Nelson, Wyoming Red, Don Kennington, Cris and Rudy Paravicini and Sam Nelson will be there.

Contribute generously and make a real difference helping a fine member of the community.
