Join us for a “Local Lore with Bob Richard” talk on Thursday, March 20 at noon in our Coe Auditorium, when Bob’s illustrated presentation continues the exploration of the history of the Coe Family that Bob Richard and Bob Coe began last November.
The two share more stories and photographs from more recent history of the Coe family, specifically Henry and Peg Coe along with their three children. Bob Coe discusses his mom, Peg’s, long tenure as the Chair of what was then the Buffalo Bill Historical Center’s Board of Trustees.
These illustrated presentations are so popular that they now require registration. As an added perk of your Center membership, members can pre-register for free and enjoy priority seating. Paid Center visitors can also pre-register for free. While non-members and walk-ins are always welcome, they must also register and pay a nominal fee of $10, which supports our speaker programming. Online pre-registration ends at midnight before the program; if seats are still available, you may register at our front admissions desk upon your arrival.
The talks in this series are gathered in this YouTube playlist.
A lifelong Wyoming resident, Richard’s varied experiences are pure West. He worked at guest ranches, guided horse and hunting trips, ranched, and for 37 years owned and operated Grub Steak Expeditions, personally touring thousands of visitors from around the world through Yellowstone and its ecosystem.
Educated at the Universities of Wyoming, Arizona, and California (Fresno), Richard has served as a teacher and school administrator, a decorated United States Marine Corps pilot in Vietnam, and, for 21 years, helped coordinate American Red Cross service and relief activities in the western United States.
Richard is the author of several books on the Cody and Yellowstone area, as well as his own family’s deep roots in the region. They feature his own photographs and often those of his father Jack Richard and uncle Ned Frost. For information on Bob’s photography and his published books, visit bobrichardphotography.com.
