The National Outdoor Leadership School Mourns the Loss of a Great Statesman

Lander, Wyo.– All of the staff at the National Outdoor Leadership School are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Wyoming’s Senator Craig Thomas. An exemplary leader who consistently provided strong leadership for the state, Senator Thomas left a legacy to be proud of. His tireless energy, intimate understanding and appreciation of Wyoming and its people, his vision for our state’s future and his compassion were qualities that made Senator Thomas stand out among elected officials.

” Our thought’s and prayers are with the Thomas family as they cope with their loss,” said NOLS Public Policy Director, Jen Lamb. “Senator Thomas was a good friend to NOLS. Senator Thomas could always be counted on to be thoughtful and honest. Sometimes he supported NOLS’ position on an issue and sometimes he didn’t, but you always knew that he would listen, formulate an opinion and honestly communicate it.”

We offer our condolences to his family and friends and our appreciation for the lifetime of service he gave to our state, our country, and the people of Wyoming.
