Peek at the Past

50 Years Ago, October 25, 1973: A new, fully-equipped ambulance to serve Sundance and Crook County arrived here last week. Sundance Mayor Ray Buckman said the program should be set up and the unit ready to run within a week. The new van-type vehicle, fitted with an ambulance module capable of handling up to four patients at one time, was funded with the assistance of a $5500 Highway Safety Grant through the Wyoming Governor's Office of Safety. The entire project will cost about $9400, Buckman said, and the remainder of the funding will come from donations pledged by city and county residents.
