Recognizing the Legacy of Juli Spitzer

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. HAGEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the legacy of my friend and a great Wyomingite, Juli Spitzer. Juli never met a stranger, and her life was defined by the love she had for her neighbors and the communities she called home in Sublette and Teton Counties.

From the day Juli moved to Wyoming to attend the University of Wyoming, she embraced the romance of the West. She loved the open range and never tired of participating in the cowgirl life from baking bread to moving cattle. Juli was particularly fond of the natural beauty and wildlife we are blessed with in Wyoming.

Her fondness for the West led Juli to work towards preserving the history and legacy of Wyoming, and Juli and her husband, Hort, were long-time supporters and active members of the Sublette County Historical Society and Jim Bridger League.

Through their shared commitment to telling the history and stories of Wyoming, the Spitzers were influential in the inception and founding of Wyoming's Museum of the Mountain Man, and both Juli and Hort would later serve on the board of directors.

On a personal note, Juli Spitzer was truly one of a kind with a personality as big as all outdoors.

She will be dearly missed by her husband, Hort; her friends; her community; and all who knew her.

We take comfort in knowing that her legacy will be remembered for generations by Wyomingites.
