Rotarian of the Week 10-05-11

Our Rotarian of the Week grew up 45 miles west …in Laramie, Wyoming. His first paid work experience was delivering papers… probably the Laramie Boomerang. He made about 25 dollars a month.

Rotarian, Jim Hearne attended Laramie High School, home of the Plainsmen and then went on to the University of Wyoming graduating in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting.  

Jim has been married to his lovely wife Peggy for 38 years. They have two children, Michelle and Christopher and two wonderful grandchildren Kayla and Nate.

Other than his family, Jim’s proudest accomplishments include, becoming a partner in McGee, Hearne and Paiz and being selected to serve as General Chairman of Cheyenne Frontier Days.

Jim Hearne was sponsored into the Cheyenne Rotary Club by Mike McGee. He has served on the 4 way test essay committee and the Board of Directors of our Club. His most memorable Rotary Experiences include assisting with the Italian Exchange Group and his years on the Board of Directors. Ron likes Rotary because on the camaraderie and the great weekly programs.

His favorite meal is a Rib-eye steak grilled medium rare with a baked potato. When he is relaxing, he enjoys ranching, sports, especially hunting.

In recognition of his service to our club and our community the Sargent at Arms will present Rotarian Jim Hearne with a gift certificate from the Club
