"I was 21 years old and had my
10-month baby daughter with me when we were
stranded on the railroad in a blizzard," said Marj
Halvorson.
Marj and her husband boarded the
Union Pacific train in Grand Island, Nebraska, on
January 2, 1949 for a trip to Casper where the
newlyweds were making their home. They had spent Christmas 1948 with family in
their hometown of Fairbury, Nebraska.
"It started to snow before the train left the station in Grand Island," said Marj.
"While en route the wheels froze up and the train couldn't go."
Travelers and crew tried to defrost the train's wheels with blowtorches.
Travelers were stranded on the train for over two days. The train eventually made it to
Seneca, Nebraska before being stopped again by the blizzard.
"There was a cafe not far from the depot," said Marj. "The snow was as high as
the train."
Union Pacific paid for travelers to eat at the café. A skier from Canada who was
traveling with the group took bedding from the Pullman car for makeshift beds set up
on the floor of the cafe.
The travelers were stranded in Seneca for six days. The young family managed
to walk to a nearby hotel where a room was set up for them.
"We had a sink in our room and shared a bathroom down the hall with other
travelers," said Marj. "That was typical for the times."
Telephone and telegraph lines were down. Eventually the lines were brought
back up. Marge's husband managed to contact his employer, Modern Electric, in
Casper who notified the Casper depot with first news of the travelers.
The eastbound tracks eventually cleared for the train to move and travelers
headed back to Nebraska.
"We had to go back east to Lincoln, then back to Grand Island," said Marj.
"Then we could start making it back to Casper." Ten days after starting their overnight
trip home, the family made it to Casper.
Parts of Nebraska and Wyoming received more than 100 inches of snow and
areas reporting drifts of 30 feet that didn't melt until June.
Footnote: January 2, 2014 marks the 65th anniversary of the beginning of the Blizzard of 1949.

Spotlight on Volunteers: Power Lunchers by Nancy McKenzie, Director of Volunteer Services and Shirley Knisley, Coordinator of Home-Delivered Meals
The Senior Center is grateful to the many
volunteers who deliver an average of 4,000 meals a
month within the Sheridan community. This
important service would not be possible without our
amazing volunteers!
We would like to take this opportunity to give
special recognition to the following businesses and
organizations who have dedicated staff members
for the Home Delivered Meals
program for over 10 years!
Hammer Chevrolet
Captain Clean
Top Office
First Interstate Bank
Volunteers of America
Sheridan Rotary
Burns Industries
We also give special thanks and recognition to:
Sheridan YMCA
Easter Seals
State Farm Insurance Bill Phillips
State Farm Insurance Renate Smith
RENEW
Sugarland Ridge
Sheridan Manor
Sheridan Jaycees
Stifel Investments
Spring Creek School
We appreciate that many of these volunteers
forfeit their lunch hours to feed others; not only
providing an individual living at home a nutritious
meal ~ the volunteer may be the only person an
individual living alone may see that day.
Thank YOU all so very MUCH !!
Fast Forward -
The Sheridan Senior Center’s Board of
Directors, staff, and community partners are
currently in the middle of two significant and
exciting projects that look into the future to
evaluate what and how we deliver services and
supports to the people in our communities. The
first is a public transportation study funded
through the Wyoming Department of
Transportation (WYDOT), the City of Sheridan,
and Sheridan County. This assessment is looking at public transportation
needs, how we will best make use of the resources we currently have at
our disposal, and how we can increase the capacity for “getting around”
as we move forward.
The second project is an assessment of the Senior Center’s facilities
and what we need to have in terms of space to serve the community in
the next 10, 20, and 30 years. TSP, inc. is the architectural firm we are
working with to identify how we are going to accommodate the increasing
number of people who access our services. This is funded through a
planning only grant through the Wyoming Business Council and WYDOT.
You will soon be hearing more about both of these studies as we
quickly wrap up this look into the future so we are able to grow and
develop to best serve you.

The ‘new’ concept of choosing foods from as local
a source as possible is old hat to our elders. In fact,
less than 70 years ago, most of the food consumed in
Sheridan County came from a local source.
Many people are now trying to go back to this way
of eating because eating locally produced foods
improves their chances of eating healthfully and
meaningfully.
Eating healthfully means finding the most
nutritious food possible. Choosing local foods is a
great way to do this. By growing your own food or
buying foods from local sources, you improve your
chances of freshness and you are in more control
over what your food is exposed to.
Knowing your farmer gives your food more
meaning. It connects you to your neighbors and
improves community self-sufficiency. For more
information on local food sources, contact Georgia at
extension 108.
