Rotarian of the Week 10-20-2010

Our Rotarian of the Week grew up in Cheyenne, attending Cheyenne Central High School.  His first job was working in his father’s warehouse where he earned a mere pittance in pay.  Eventually, our special Rotarian went onto college at Arizona State and then law school at the University of Wyoming.  Judge Beaman is now the United States Magistrate Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming.  He will retire this January after more than 35 years of service at the Federal Court as the U.S. Magistrate or Clerk of Court.  Judge Beaman enjoys snow skiing, swimming, bicycling and collecting cars.  His favorite meal is a New York strip steak, medium rare, with creamed spinach.  One of his most memorable Rotary experiences was a District Conference at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs.  Next to family, his proudest accomplishment is having the opportunity to work with eminent and accomplished men and women involved with the Wyoming Federal Judiciary.  Judge Beaman has been a member of our Club for more than 37 years.  He served as our Club President in 1997-98 and has been a strong supporter of our many Club programs and projects.  In recognition of his service to our Club, the Sergeant at Arms presented Judge Beaman with a gift certificate to Poor Richards and a can of Armor All.
