Laramie Driver Services offers relaxing experience

Greetings. I just wanted to drop a dime on someone to express my appreciation for the staff at the Laramie Driver’s License Service office (sic). I recently took my daughter out to apply and test for her permit. The staff was kind and made a pretty anxious 15-year-old feel at ease.

While I have never had a bad experience with any staff person in my 28 years with them, this was the first relaxing experience I’ve had. I again had contact with them when I called to get her driver’s test scheduled for her hardship. The gentleman was kind and efficient.

Please pass along my gratitude for making a long and sometimes painful process much easier. Their positivity means a lot. Kindly, Andrea Senior, via email

High praise for WHP Trooper

We are writing this to praise Trooper C.N. Duncan who assisted us when we had a front driver tire blowout while we were driving I-80, west of Wamsutter, on our return trip to Colorado.

My husband is 79 years old and [him] negotiating a tire change in those circumstances would have been perilous. I called 9-1-1 for assistance because we needed the number of a service station. After checking that we were OK, your dispatcher verified that we could pay if a service provider responded and then told me that she would let a Trooper know we needed help. Trooper C.N. Duncan drove up about 40 minutes later. Between my husband (who amazed me with flexibility I did not know he still had) and Trooper Duncan, we were able to drive on to Wamsutter with the spare.

Terry and I would like to make a contribution in Trooper Duncan’s honor either to a social or a victim’s fund. Please let him know that we are truly grateful and are impressed with the quality of the people who work for the Wyoming Highway Patrol. Patricia and Terrence Foley, via email
