Rotarian of the Week 10-27-10

Our Rotarian of the Week spent his youth in Cheyenne, Wyoming, attending Cheyenne Central High School, home of the Indians.  His first full time job was stacking hay bales at the age of 14 at the Dan Rees Ranch, now the site of the Dyno Nobel plant.  He was paid $10 a day and had to bring his own lunch.  Occasionally, the hay crew was given time to eat their lunch.  Today, Dave Foreman is an Investment Broker with D. A. Davidson & Co.  He has been an Investment Broker in Cheyenne for 28 years.  Dave enjoys snow skiing, white water rafting, gardening and studying Wyoming history.  His favorite meal is elk fajitas.  Dave’s most memorable Rotary experience was working with Kristi Sansonetti in preparing and presenting four programs detailing the 90 year history of the Cheyenne Rotary Club and its members from 1918 through 2008.  Dave’s proudest accomplishment is serving on the Campaign Cabinet for the Davis Hospice Center, working on fundraising, planning and construction of that wonderful facility.  Dave is also proud of the buildings and culture at 14 Ranch, a 130 year old Scottish cattle ranch in northwest Platte County now owned by him and his father.  Dave has been a member of our Club for over 20 years and has served many years as our Club Historian.  In recognition of his service to our Club, the Sergeant at Arms will present Dave with a gift certificate to Poor Richards and a sign for his garden.
